As another data point, I've noticed random hangs in my personal
tinderboxes which run with only 2 CPUs each.  I had it happen last
night while running a build of audio/amarok-kde4, which is the first
time I've seen it happen on a port outside of the standard KDE4
packages.  I haven't had time to troubleshoot it at all though.
