Comment (by quozl):

 https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12813 updated with test findings and
 analysis.

 the problem can be reproduced easily, and there have been several reports
 that are likely to have been the same underlying root cause.

 the root cause is that sugar does not handle the situation where an
 activity or application has not responded to the session manager save
 yourself message.

 contributing causes are opening many activities, activities or
 applications that are in a CPU loop or blocked on a network event, and
 very slow hardware.
