The problem actually still exists for 2.6.32
[linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64], so it seems less likely to be something
that can be discovered by a bisect. I've since run 8 passes of a memtest
(~6 hours) with no failures, which has made me more convinced that it's
a software issue. I suppose for a better comparison I'd need to leave it
running for a week or so (without any freezing issues).
In that case, I guess it's a 32-bit/64-bit issue. I'm considering
reverting the system to a 32-bit kernel (it only has 1.5GB memory)
because it's difficult to predict when the CPU freezes will happen, and
I've had to hard-shutdown the computer a few times via the power button.
Less curious, more frustrated,
