Could it be (wild guess), rsyslogd and journald when being used 
simultaneously, are having locking issues?

I am asking, because I am facing console freezes, which go away, when 
switching off rsyslogd and console logging ("dmesg -D") on a small 
memory system, which suffers from a kernel bug which raises a warning 
approx. every second.
