More observations: when this happens, fonts are all messed up - larger than they should be, and parts of them are missing. When I telnet to the computer, XFree86 is consuming ~99% CPU resources, however even after I kill all x-related processes the desktop is still locked
up. The only way I have been able to get out of this is to do a hard reboot.
