We are using AMazon EC2 m3.x2large nodes and while the freeze is occurring

The Erlang processes seem to be unkillable because "shutdown -r now" is
also hanging. Right now these nodes are just being used for some testing,
but eventually we will go into production and I really need to have a plan
for how to detect and then deal with these Erlang freezes. Or better yet, a
way to avoid them even if it means detecting some condition in advance and
then rebooting the node.
