To clarify, does it happen with old or new kernel?
New Kernel:
kernel-3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64

It looks like httpd is hanging somewhere doing something and kernel
detects this. It might also be that your system is busy on doing I/O

Guess I'll reboot into the new/problematic kernel and see if it happens
again.
