It's now biten me too on 2.1.128. The one possibly helpful observation that I made when playing with the machine was that changing the virtual console to another one and back in most cases made unfrooze formerly stuck processes which before that just seemed to be stuck. I'll try to gather some more information when it hits me again, but the bug hits me only every two days or so.
