My login session never timeout, I was actually authenticated but never
saw a prompt.

I let it running (sitting there) over night and the shell was still
'active' there after 8 hours – but no prompt.

The load had nothing to do with this. I booted the server (pretty
blank), logged in and then further attempts failed right away. If I
waited too long (and I don't have an exact time), I could not log in at
all.

I *think* it stalled at trying to find out how many people are logged in
to the system. I saw a "[who] defunct" in my process list. But I have no
idea why that caused the my login process to block.

I looked at this script and also ran it while I was logged in and it
completely within reason. Though I would say that it adds too much time
to the login still. It's a noticable delay.

Btw, check out the 'ask ubuntu' link I left in my comment, it contains
the process list with the defunct who and the sysinfo script running.
