Turns out, the problem seems even more serious.   All long running  
jobs get unexpectedly terminated.  So I couldn't compile a new Xen  
kernel, since it kept getting interrupted - even screen was getting  
killed.
Anyone else have similar problems?

Any insight as to what the problem could be?  I wasn't having any  
issues on a 1850 Poweredge w/ similar processors and hyperthreading  
enabled, but on this one, everything dies (all domUs turn to Zombies  
after a bit...)
