regressing to smp kernel 1276 had corrected the problem
today with same smp 1366 kernel and other new apps ... and the process
hang problems appear to be corrected.
oops, spoke a little too soon. x seems to be doing better ... but
something hung in the network stack ... and then anything attempting to
do tcp/ip would hang. i could kill processes and do other things (which
wasn't happening when x was hanging) ... mozilla tabs trying to do
network urls hung ... but basic mozilla was still live (aka toolbar
worked, etc). finally rebooted to smp kernel 1276 and problem went away.
