Ok, it's been a week already. While something has improved, the problem
seems to still be there; it triggers much less often, and behaves
different.

For now, I've only managed to trigger it using mutt, the moment I "send"
mail, it happens like 90% of the times. I can now, tho, edit files with vim
without turning crazy.

My brother, who uses the computer (I only ssh to it) hasn't noticed any
problem, therefore if the problem isn't fixed, it is well hidden. Also,
when I trigger it, it doesn't seem to affect whatever I/O is being done
in paralel of the task that caused it, which makes me think it triggers
far more often than I notice.

Haven't tried -4, should I? I think I've heard it only fixes build-as-module
problems, but I really don't know.

Thanks,
