We have an Alphaserver 2100 with 2 5/250 CPUs, running 3.2G. Twice
this week (Sunday night and now Thursday night) it has crashed in the
same way:

   simple_lock: time limit exceeded

   pc of caller: 0xfffffc000042d368
   lock address: 0xfffffc0007338238 (Sunday)
   lock address: 0xfffffc000725de38 (Thursday)
   current lock state: 0x0000000000282e59
                                (cpu=0, pc=0xfffffc0000282e58, busy)

   panic ( cpu 0 ): simple_lock: time limit exceeded
   syncing disks...

and it hangs there.

Since this has happened twice in fairly close succession, I am
concerned. What could this be?
