Nothing really stands out. I use a stock Gentoo setup.
Another symptom were sudden sudo failures:

Oct 10 11:55:25 x4 sudo: pam_unix(sudo:auth): authentication failure; logname=markus uid=1000 euid=0 tty=/dev/pts/2 ruser=markus rhost=  user=markus 
Oct 10 11:55:30 x4 sudo:   markus : user NOT in sudoers ; TTY=pts/2 ; PWD=/home/markus ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/su

Sudo also complained that I was not member of the "wheel" group
(although I certainly am). With this this line in /etc/sudoers:
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

 % groups markus
wheel audio cdrom video cdrw users fcron wireshark kvm games markus

Mplayer refused to play music with a "permission denied" error when it
tried to open an ALSA device.
