Kernel and console unresponsive.
Nothing on console.
I initiated the rsync from another machine (ie. xterm or console), while I
watched the console on the x86_64. The moment the rsync stopped sending
data from the i386, the x86_64's console is also unresponsive. From then
on pings fail, I don't see any updates to the screens (were using "vmstat 1"
in one test), and a reset/power-cycle is needed to revive.

Haven't yet noticed corruption, as I were rsyncing, so it checksummed and
sent, and the compressed files is difficult check for corruption if
only half sent in anycase :(
Pleasure.
