I've been having continual unexplained lockup problems since converting one of my outgoing qmail servers to 2.4.x. This has been discussed before on this list, where the symptoms are that anything typed on console takes forever to actually come up, and after a few minutes the machine is so unresponsive it requires a powercycle. Noticed that when this box is in its state of unresponsiveness, the process start times in ps gradually move backwards. The following listings were taken over about a 1.5 hour timespan.
