Exactly how did the fake entry look in etc/hosts?  just an ip to name match?
I believe I am having this same problem.  This is my first time with Ubuntu.  
Since I installed in December, the system eventually locks up.  Basically the 
logins lock up.  I have remote logging enabled.

I leave a terminal logged as root so when the system locks up I go to
the terminal and restart sysklogd.  It starts working again.  I guess if
I look in my logs I can figure out which of my remote logging items is
causing the freezup.
