When it locks up, is it possible to run this from a mouse menu button
or something and see if it fixes it?

echo "set ipending=2" | gdb -k -w /kernel /dev/mem >/dev/null 2>&1

I have the same problem, but it only happens when I xmodmap the
keyboard to swap my capslock and DEL keys.  Before I did this (the
result of switching keyboards to one which didn't do it in hardware),
I never had a problem at all.
