Let me add another SMP freeze. This is on a Supermicro motherboard. If
I turn off gkrellm, the freezes stop happening. I've been turning
monitors back on slowly and seeing if they restart.

In looking through the sensors code in gkrellm and healthd, I notice
that gkrellm assumes that it's got a Winbond sensor chip, whereas
healthd says the one on the supermicro as an Asus AS97127F.

At this point I suspect that one of the plugins is buggy and tweaking
the sensor in some way.
