I remember running into this problem when I was developing the SNMPStats module. In my case it was because I had a printf() in a signal handler, which is not a thread safe function. If the problem is intermittent but tends to happen more when a certain module is present, perhaps either:

1) A function is called that is not thread safe from within a signal handler provided by that module or,
2) There exists some other signal handling race condition.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to look into it at the moment (wedding next week, house planning, and of course working to pay the bills), but I thought my experience with the SNMPStats
module may be helpful.

Cheers!

A little correction : I mean it is not presence-SPECIFIC, but it might
be presence-RELATED ... however, I found this in settings using
different db modules, some without tm, and with really different set of
other modules. Plus, in somes cases it is very sporadic and random, in
some other more recurrent.

I had such problems since I use (open)ser but could never debug it. Thus,
I do not think that it is presence related.
Same here. I tried to trace it down, but I spent so much time on it
without success that I finally decided to go for the heavy ugly way :
stop, test, stop, test, and eventually kill.
I know this might be disapointing to Juha who is trying to find the root
cause, but honestly, for now this is the best cost/result ratio I've
found. When all my feature dev will work as I wish, I might spent some
more time on hunting down the root cause.

And clearly, this issue shows up in some settings, while totally absent
from other ... without any common pattern I could figure out. Clearly,
this is not presence related (I don't use presence at all).
