If the scroll lock is on and there is a bunch of console output, the machine will eventually stop responding to the network, until scroll lock is turned off (at sometimes that doesn't even help).
Easy test:
hit scroll lock do a few echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger on that machine from a ssh/telnet session and it should stop responding after two or three of them.
This is bad (for me) because we have a stupid switch box that uses scroll lock to bring up the system selection menu, so sometimes scroll lock gets left on by accident, and the machine eventually locks up.
