Nope. Standard plain Pentium IV of 2001 vintage, running at a "mere" 
1800MHz.

My suspects are around these settings in the kernel:

        Preemption Model (Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop))  --->
        Timer frequency (250 HZ)  --->

I say that because others have said that they think it is something in the 
kernel, and because the instants I saw that problem my firebird was pretty 
busy redrawing a largish page with javascript. If the system is very busy 
it may loose interrupts :-? Not really, and the fact would be reported in 
the kernel log. Something else not attended to? I don't know enough.
