I had problems with some screen savers locking the desktop with 10.0.
Can you telnet or ssh in from another box while its locked. If you can,
run top and see if one of the screen saver programs is 100% cpu.

No I can't ssh in when it locks. It's a hard lock and only responds to a
hardware reset. The screen saver idea is interesting because my system is
set to the default random screen saver. They change often so it may help
explain why it takes about 48 hours.

I mentioned in my original post that I thought it might be DHCP related
but now I can't say why I think that. I do see that the machine
disappears from the router when it locks up.
