thanks for the above analysis Mark.  i am going to test these settings 
out now as i'm still seeing the lockup.

this most recent hang-up was using a patch tijl@ asked me to test 
(attached to this email), and the default setting of vm.pageout_oom_seq: 
12.  interestingly enough with the patch applied i observed a smaller 
amount of memory used for laundry as well as less swap space used until 
right before the crash.

cheers,
