Not wishing to be rude, honestly,
but I'm not after a CPU or disk stresstester - we have these.
We monitor temperatures using sensors and Ganglia. 
This problem CPU doesn't seem to be getting to a higher
temperature than any other nodes in the cluster. I'm just conjecturing
to myself that a particular instruction isn't being decoded properly,
or some particular pattern in RAM is causing it to hiccup.
RAM is being looked at by long memtest run over the weekend.
