It's a non-recoverable KDL. Could reproduce the hang now but not the KDL, here's the serial log, still at hrev36382:
virtual void AddOnManager::MessageReceived(BMessage*) what: vdwI virtual void AddOnManager::MessageReceived(BMessage*) what: vdwI Last message repeated 5 times. Last message repeated 10 times. Last message repeated 11 times. PageWriteWrapper: Failed to write page 0x83a0dfb0: General system error
The window fails to redraw beneath the menu, unless where I move the mouse. The graphs are not updated and the system seems sluggish. The window can be moved but not resized or closed, while other windows are okay. The CPU goes crazy, and after killing ActivityMonitor everything seemed normal again this time.
The PageWriteWrapper error was not reproducible next time.

Forgot to mention that this is on real SMP hardware. But the hang happens with second CPU disabled, too.
Sometimes the third (network) graph is sufficient to trigger this, sometimes it requires over twenty adds, but the hang is very much reproducible here. Not for you?
More PageWriteWrapper errors on third try:
slab memory manager: deleting area 0xf6000000 (4452) PageWriteWrapper: Failed to write page 0x83d02510: General system error PageWriteWrapper: Failed to write page 0x83d0253c: General system error PageWriteWrapper: Failed to write page 0x83d02568: General system error

At least on real hardware I have never seen it. Though I've never tried to add 20 graphs either. I just tested a bit under qemu with hrev36408 and haven't encountered any problem either.

When you encounter it again please try the page command in KDL for one of the pages that could not be written and then cache for its cache (if any). Also interesting would be avail and page_stats (no parameters). Note that you can inspect the syslog from KDL via syslog | tail. Furthermore please check which thread or threads eat the CPU and get a back trace for them (bt <thread ID> in KDL).

Normally with three graphs ActivityMonitor memory usage is around 1.4 MB according to ProcessController. With a dozen graphs and the hang it skyrocketed over 800 MB and kept climbing.
Overall used memory according to AboutSystem went from maybe 120 MB to only around 390 MB and stagnated there. RAM is 1 GB, swap 2 GB.
The page_writer(?) thread in the kernel_team got pretty active at first but calmed down again.
This is at hrev36408.

Replying to andreasf:

Indeed. The stack trace seems to indicate that it just tried to allocate another area and failed (probably due to lack of resources -- though avail still shows almost 900 MB available).
Overall used memory according to AboutSystem went from maybe 120 MB to only around 390 MB and stagnated there. RAM is 1 GB, swap 2 GB.
I'm not quite sure what stats AboutSystem's info is based on, but page_stats and avail (well, I forgot swap) give a detailed picture. There are only 4446 free pages and 781 cached ones. There are 40969 wired ones, which is quite a lot, unless you have kernel tracing enabled with a sizable buffer. And we have 201358 inactive pages (i.e. actually (but not very recently) used ones), which were probably mostly allocated by ActivityMonitor. An areas <team id> for ActivityMonitor would be interesting.
The page_writer(?) thread in the kernel_team got pretty active at first but calmed down again.
This is expected when a team is allocating obscene amounts of memory, as it's the one swapping out pages. The page daemon should probably be even busier in the beginning. At least the low memory situation explains why the whole system slows down. That doesn't explain the crash, but without a stack trace there's little that can be done about it.
The "PageWriteWrapper: Failed to write page" output is probably related to http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/system/kernel/port.cpp#L667 and basically harmless.

FYI on hrev39551 GCC2Hybrid, if I add graphs to ActivityMonitor it never reaches the debugger, but the program stops responding completely after I add around 8 or so graphs. This is under VirtualBox with 4 CPUs.
Edit: Just noticed this bug: http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6481

Closing this since the KDL is gone (at least here I can't reproduce that part). The freeze is tracked in #6481.
Can you be more specific please. vm_page_fault() is just the general page fault handler function. It is called very often during normal operation. If this is a kernel panic, please add a stack trace. If this is an application crash, please add a gdb stack trace and the relevant part of the syslog (or the complete thing).
