No idea, but you guys all just fixed the box I use for testing.  Had the 
same symptoms.  Apparently the box has so little RAM and mod_perl+apache 
are so damn huge that the kernel started killing stuff off, including 
freeside-queued.

So thanks!

Another note, what I saw on this box besides the hang described is that 
all my apache processes chew up cpu and grow in size until all RAM and 
swap are exhausted, FWIW.
