I was experiencing many of these same symptoms while running Ubuntu 8.04 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T60. Happened with both Transmission and Azureus. Hard locks. No messages in any log I could find. Finally, getting fed up, I tried installing openSUSE 11.0 and I'm happy to report that I'm no longer experiencing the problems. This definitely seems to be Ubuntu specific. It would be great if the Ubuntu team would acknowledge this problem and assign a resource to resolve it.
