psmouse.c resync failed -- locks system

After further testing of the following kernels:

kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8.x86_64.rpm
kernel-2.6.23.14-115.fc8.x86_64.rpm
kernel-2.6.23.14-107.fc8.x86_64.rpm
kernel-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.x86_64.rpm
kernel-2.6.23.8-63.fc8.x86_64.rpm

The problem does not exist on:
kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8.x86_64.rpm

Something changed between 1-49 and 8-63 which causes the system to 
freeze momentarily (even the Gnome System Monitor freezes), and then 
when the mouse is moved, the kernel spits out the error messages from 
psmouse.c.  I now believe that the psmouse.c messages are a symptom that 
results after the freeze occurs.  My initial testing shows if the system 
is not touched for 30 seconds, the freezing takes place.
