OH, WOW!  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.
