No-go. I just had it happen again! This time it was at 45 mins past the hour so 
nowhere near my snapshot time. System was so unresponsive that it kicked me off 
my ssh session. I tried a forced instance restart and once I did that I could 
suddenly log in again even though it didn't restart, was still pretty 
unresponsive though and I couldn't do anything meaningful on it. Eventually the 
restart happened but it didn't come back up properly so I just had to keep on 
trying to reconnect. I got back on again but it locked up again as I was 
remounting some EBV volumes. So another attempt at a restart... The problems 
all disappeared again almost 1 hour after it had begun.
It's frustrating trying to run a web service like this and having to come up 
with explanations for our customers when we disappear. And I have no idea where 
the blame lies for this! AWS? EBS? Lucid? Something else? Do I spend a day 
reverting back to Karmic? Do I throw away my reserved instance and set myself 
up in another availability zone or region?
