Doh! I knew it was probably something like that; I should have looked
harder. :} I managed to get a backtrace from the dom0 kernel this time.=

I may try that, if I can set up a situation where I can force the crash
at will (since I don't really want to wait 24h each time I tweak
something if I can help it). Since it seems to happen during the daily
job consistently, I will see if running them from the commandline will
trigger the hang.

Below is the backtrace from ddb, and the output from the Xen kernel. (I
don't know anything about the Xen output - I assume the
apparently-interlaced-with-other-stuff output is due to both dom0 and
Xen outputting.

Unfortunately, I never set up a dump device on this machine, so I can't
get a crash dump. (Would that even help?)
