I had a full system freeze (can't use mouse, keys, no network response / pong) 
on 2.6.23 and 2.6.22.10 when I was transferring data. The freeze only occured 
after a few days of runtime and only when transferring data. Not sure if it was 
always from or to NFS drives, but there were always NFS drives mounted. The 
last time it crashed was when I was transferring about 70 GB over the network 
from an NFS drive to another NFS drive. As I really have difficulty to 
reproduce this problem I ask if anyone has a system on which it is easier to 
reproduce "this"(assuming that there is only one error) problem. Can you test 
the newest kernel versions? 
>=2.6.23.8

Is it possible that an error such as this, can cause the problem? It's just the 
one that looks most likely related, but I don't know what happens to a infinite 
loop under the big kernel lock and how probable it is, under the known 
conditions, that the kernel enters this infinite loop. (I'm not a kernel 
programmer after all)

Heavy network activity (eg: torrent/nfs file transfers) causes Hard System 
Locks and/or Network Freezes.
