I can tell you about a few different subsystems that lock up without
totally bringing down the entire OS.

One frequent occurrence that comes to mind is when a terminal on Linux
running inside a virtual machine is transferring a file over SSH using
the 'scp' command, and then the network connection drops out . . .
that freezes the terminal a lot of the time.
