I've seen the same problems. My system has had ZERO changes installed.
However, It seemed to start after installing FTP software, here at work.
And my system at home ONLY has had the update for the IBM506??? (for MFM
drives) fix installed (early on). The problems at home started weeks after
I installed the driver fix.

So, I can't corrilate any specific changes that would cause it. Nor, can I
predict *WHEN* it will occur.

BTW - The only thing I do to continue is wait for the "Not Responding.." 
screen. Things continue fine. (more patient than some, I guess :-)
