Thanks to all for the recommendations to watch the machine temperatures,
run a memory test, look into recent system upgrades, check the smart
tests on the hard drive, and running top. I checked the machine temps,
ran memory tests, etc. It's coming up on a month since these incidents
occurred. Ever since I started running top on an ssh connection from my
main machine I've had no problems. I've run Update Manager a few times
since then, too. MythTV and the machine are running faithfully.
