Interesting theory, I wonder if other the other subscribers to this bug can confirm that they are all using multi-core or multi-processor systems.

I for one, am using a dual-core processor and am experiencing all the different types of lockups described by Andeas Kielkopf. In addition, sometimes when the crash number 1 happens (everything is totally locked up), both the caps-lock and num-lock leds of my laptop start flashing start flashing.

cat /proc/cpuinfo gives me the following info (extract)
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz,
stepping : 13
cpu cores : 2
