This would still help. KDB is hosted at
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/. In short, you want to grab the -common
and -x86 patches, apply them, rebuild and reinstall the kernel (having
turning on kdb in the config). You'll then be able to press the SysRq
key at the point where your hang occurs and use the ps and btp commands
to examine what processes are running and where they're hanging.

Many today claim to be tolerant. True tolerance, however, can cope with others
being intolerant.
