I don't think the processor is saturating. I've seen reports of this

couldn't reproduce it, and couldn't think of any more useful data to
collect.
Well I can reproduce it easily enough. It's a production server, but
I can do low-risk experiments after hours.
I'd like to note that the symptoms include not even being
able to *type* at the console, which I thought was all in-kernel
code, not subject to being swapped out. But whatever.
Really? Or is it just that you can type but the characters don't get
echoed. The type part is in the kernel, but the display involves X
unless you run a direct console.
