Update for 3.2-rc3.  Logged-in via the kdm-greeter screen, and just as
soon as the kde session initialization started, I toggled back to a
virtual console to see if any error messages were being written there.
The only suspicious thing I saw was *many* messages in syslog of the
form:

<date> <hostname> kernel: do_entUnaUser: 836779 callbacks suppressed

as "virtuoso-t" started running.  I decided to chance switching to the
X11 session, and it ran for a little while before the system froze.  The
freeze "feels" like an out-of-memory condition, which could explain the
lack of error messages.  Things got really slow just before the system
became completely unresponsive.
