I upgraded to the 10.04 Beta version, and the bug was still present. I ran 
apport under 10.04 to get updated info, then tried the mainline kernel 
(2.6.34-999-generic #201004051003), but the bug still happens. 
It is quite easy for me to reproduce, just boot up the system, connect it via 
built-in Ethernet, leave it, then SSH in and run any networking-intensive task 
and it will eventually freeze up with no response over the network or on the 
console.
After it has frozen it will only respond to the magic SysRq keys, but there 
seems to be no way to get it back into a usable state. All I can do is print 
debugging info to the console, and since it's only 640x480 there isn't much use 
as the screen's too small to read the backtrace(s). None of the debugging info 
gets saved to /var/log/, presumably because the rest of the kernel is locked up.
