To clarify, the freeze of my MythTV system included X. The cursor didn't
move and numlock wouldn't toggle.

I run BOINC and ever since 2.6.27, multitasking has been terrible. BOINC
runs two idle-priority processes for my two cores. If I'm playing a
video with these processes around, and there's just one more process on
top of that wants to consume a full core, everything grinds to a halt,
then sputters. Video and audio pauses for several seconds at a time and
performs very inconsistently. And even cursor movement is jerky.

And lately, I can produce the several-minute freeze easily. I just have
to start BOINC while MythTV is playing video. So I'm starting to think
the extremely poor multitasking is just the result of this bug causing
freezes in much shorter intervals.
