Apparently the bug is present even on the server kernel, as I just got hit with this again.
Uname -a:
Linux ubuntu 2.6.27-8-server #1 SMP Thu Nov 6 18:18:16 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
And killing Boinc rectifies the system usability.
Previous server-kernels worked fine on my machine, what have changed between 2.6.27-7 and 2.6.27-8?
