IN ANSWER TO THE POSTERS:
-It has not lately been booted from a CD I can rule that out.
-I think these might have been spurious errors at that.
-Possibly the problem was with udevd and may now have (touch wood) been
corrected by dpkg-reconfigure.
-I am doing a snapshot of the process stack every 5 minutes and logging, so
that I can capture the process that is doing the resource-hogging which
caused the user to want to re-boot his machine (I suspect something was
going wrong with an X app and really all he needed to do was kill the app)
-Thanks!
