"Stalling"

["Chris Rehm" <Mr.AS400@xxxxxxx>]

I have a customer with a wierd problem. I am hoping someone will have some
feedback on this.

We recently upgraded one of our guys to a 530, and they have been
appropriately astonished with wonderful performance, but a problem they
had with one of their previous models has resurfaced. 

Occasionally, the machine will "stall". Their will be plenty of jobs
sitting in batch, but all of them will be getting zero CPU. Even with the
CPU utilization at <1%. Just as there is nothing apparently starting the
stall, it appears to end for no reason. 

Has anyone seen this before?
