ed,
in some cases it took several hours before the system hung.
In one case, I was using Zoom when it hung and the audio (and network)
continued to work, for about 18 minutes before locking up.
Finally, I've switched to using Evolution and this has generally been a
good change. It did hang, once, at the beginning but has not been a
problem since.
I also replaced my video card just before switching to Evolution, from
a 1GB Nvidia board to a 4GB AMD Radeon HD 7670 card.
How helpful or usefull this is, is open to debate, but at least there
is a second case, for what it's worth.
