Thanks for the feedback. I didn't have CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP enabled, so I
recompiled the kernel with it on. I managed to reproduce the problem but
unfortunately still didn't get anything useful in the logs. The syslog shows
immediately after the wlan reconnected:

Feb  4 14:13:02 pegasus-maverick anacron[6272]: Anacron 2.3 started on
2011-02-04
Feb  4 14:13:02 pegasus-maverick anacron[6272]: Normal exit (0 jobs run)
<hard reset was required here>
Feb  4 14:14:30 pegasus-maverick kernel: imklog 4.2.0, log source = /proc/kmsg
started.

Might the number of USB devices be relevant? I used to have external 4 drives
connected and now only have 3: I managed three suspend/resume cycles without
getting the freeze, but after I attached a fourth drive (NTFS btw, whereas the
others are ext4), the next suspend/resume cycle froze the machine.

Am I right in thinking sysrq requires me to connect over the network? The
problem with that is that I can only reproduce this reliably after a
suspend/resume cycle, and of course the network connection is lost during
suspend and the machine typically locks up so quickly that I don't have time to
establish a new connection.
