This is a bit of a long shot, but just in case: do you have ledd or 
anything similar installed? (it's a daemon that uses the keyboard LEDs to 
give status information, eg flash the scroll lock light if under load). 
The cycle I experienced was: submit condor job -> machine gets put under 
load -> ledd notices, flashes the keyboard lights, which gets picked up as 
keyboard activity -> condor suspends, load drops, ledd stops flashing 
lights -> machine becomes idle, job starts again -> repeat ad infinitum.
