I tryed rebooting, and it never came back, but not knowing the cause is
only HALF a solution... so no lolly for you! I forgot to mention... all
that time klogd took 50-60% of the CPU according to TOP, could it be that
by some weird "magic circle" the busy CPU made accesses to /proc slower
thus making klogd timeout all the time and retry, and so add more weight
on the poor CPU etc.? humm...
