I had a very similar problem with 2.3.99pre3 but as soon as I went to
pre5 is disappeared. It was whenever I downed a ppp link (ie ifdown ppp0)
while in X windows and the connection had been up for more than 10
minutes. Every single time it hard locked. I was digging out the old
serial console when I saw pre5 and hoped that it possibly fixed it (which
it appears it did for me). No oopsen, no log messages. Just hard locks
and fsck's on the next boot. :)
