    It is felt (I have no records) that the problem is more frequent under SL5.3. Much more frequent.


More frequent than what?  5.2?  4.x?

We have been running 4.4 for a couple of years, and 4.7 for a few weeks on some systems, with no problem such as this.  When we do see a freeze it's related to the server or network, and unless the problem goes on for quite a while, the clients all recover when the problem goes away.
