The symptoms are an app server being slow, or the database heating up, or an app server using an unusually large number of open files (which we monitor), or a raft of bug report emails.  The problem persists for a few or 10s of minutes, and is limited to only one of the app servers in the cluster (one at a time).

Interesting ... we had a single instance of something similar here at
Georgia Tech last weekend, and in that case the browser was also Chrome
on Windows.  Specifically Chrome 15.0.874.121, which is relatively new
(released November 17th).  I wonder if this is a Chrome bug of some kind?
