That sounds exactly like the very dead state I found my system in when it hang (I only have one occurence, so far, but my system isn't under very heavy load lately). Make -j 9 buildworld completes fine. The hang seems to have occured during a simple 20 Mb transfer of email data from my ide to my scsi disk (which is a very short but i/o intensive operation). There might have been an incoming email at the same time. I will try an idiotic buildworld -j 30 this evening just to see wether I can hang the system reproducibly. Have to go now, however.
