Okay, it happened again. Turns out to be the usb-storage kernel threads:

root      3308  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        D    08:40   0:00 [usb-storage]
root      4671  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        D    08:40   0:00 [usb-storage]

I've an USB card reader in my monitor which turns off, when the monitor goes
to standby/is shut off. I think I can reproduce it that way, but I'm currently
not physically near the machine to check.

Any debug info that can help? Last known good kernel was 2.6.13-git6.
I don't update that machine that much. ;-)

Current kernel is 2.6.14-rc1-git1.
