Did you make it?

I was able to repeat it a few times now. Just run xmms with an MP3 radio
live-stream in background. Then compile a few packages, or download some
files with firefox.

BTW, seems that the lockup is not  instantly. The last two times I observed
that it takes 1 or 2 seconds where the mouse-pointer becomes very slow and
starts jumping, before everything freezes.

But the music keeps playing, which means that the network still works
(although I cannot login).
