I have had this exact problem on a Beagle Board (not XM) that I built a system for from Robert Nelson's kernel. It would not crash, but a cron task was running at 100% CPU utilization, and would start every time you ran a command with sudo (and also at other times) and tie up the system for 5 minutes or so. This was a stock kernel, without RT patches. One crazy thing that seemed to fix it was to create a root account with a password! Otherwise, having the clock set correctly either manually or via a working network and ntpd made it run fine. I did not use DHCP in this setup.
