Interestingly, these problems have stopped occurring for me, or at least,
they haven't occurred in the last 75 hours.
My machine wasn't under abnormally heavy load, but after the repeated
kernel oopses and the mail queue problem, I did warn friends who normally
used my machine remotely that it could be randomly rebooted and that mail
might get stuck, which resulted in lower use of the machine. I also
changed my usage pattern and stored my screen session with several shells
and an owl session on a different machine, instead of my own. These
things combined to result in a lesser load.
