If that happens the odds are that you hardware/kernel is buggy.

There is no such thing CPU overload as far as I can tell. For small
system it may be the case that you are running out of memory but if
adding sleep to the loop fixes the problem that shouldn't be the case.

So all in all this looks like buggy kernel to me.
