_and_, I forgot, jack-rack running gverb. 
And I think _that_ is the problem.

If I disable gverb then things apparently return to normal (ie: normal
is ocassional xruns of around 3 msecs running at 128x2). If I enable
gverb things go bonkers a little while after hydrogen stops feeding
smaples to the rest of the chain...

Ahem. 

Can we say "denormals"??
The tail end of the reverb slowly dies and eventually gets to the point
where it fades to almost zero. That would do it, right? And explain why
it happens after hydrogen is done with its run? So it is not a
coincidence after all...

Exactly what software are you using to test?
