The other guy who also had a problem was using 2.6.27. If the 3rd guy also replies that he's using 2.6.27 then that's pretty clearly the problem. Might be worth asking about in Linux kernel mailing list.
We've had something similar happen on 2.6.24. Over time processes would take more and more CPU until they're at 100%. I moved to 2.6.26 and for now I havent seen this happen on any of our 35 servers.
It seemed to be NFS related in our case.
