pacman freezes during installation

Yesterday on my desktop pacman froze while upgrading nvidia. Today on my laptop pacman froze while upgrading xulrunner. When I say "froze", I mean the entire system became unresponsive and I had to do a hard manual reboot. I even tried remoting in through SSH and triggering a reboot, but it did nothing but kill X and cause the "system is shutting down" message to appear, after which nothing happened.

This seems odd, and highly coincidental. I was doing the first upgrade on both systems in about a week, and about a couple dozen packages were upgraded on both. Any ideas?
