Yep--sounds like the same problem we were having.

I recommend for now to keep the disk cache disabled on all clients. (It
is not 100% clear whether this is really the key to the problem, but it
is easier to work with one variable at a time.)

For now I suggest running the latest versions. As soon as you catch it
again, check that pid thing. Also if possible get the output of
"strace -p <pid of hung nxagent>" (about 30 seconds of output will do).

Are you comfortable with building your own nx libraries and nxagent?
