Every couple of days one of the servers locks up, with all the processes stuck in a lock wait. It looks like the process that created the lock crashed, all the others get stuck and that server needs a bullet.

It is the APC locking up that is the problem, though a crash might be the source. Tried attaching and doing a trace and all that, but couldn't gleam enough info. It is also hard since it happens on loaded servers, not less utilized ones.
