FWIW, I had a lockup today on x86 hardware (not x86_64). The X was
using 100% CPU time, strace showed it was busy doing all kind of futex
operations. I had to kill the X server, but apparently it left the
video card in an odd state cause it immediately locked up again once I
restarted X. Only a powercycle solved the problem.
