Kage,

I'm seeing similar issues with 3.8.2.  Take a look at my post 
"apache/mason software caused connection abort."

Running with Tom's thought, maybe we can compare setups.  My two systems 
are identical builds of a gentoo stage 4 on VMWare ESX3i.  My default vm 
resources are pretty low.  Each host has 256M and a single, virtual cpu 
witch the systems see as a Xeon E5410.  Now I don't see how a nearly 
idle system (in testing) could have resource issues with regard to the 
CPU, but looking at my puny alloted memory, I could see how that might 
cause a crunch.

What's your memory capacity and usage look like?
