Whenever I try to go to "Page layouts and site templates" (AreaTemplateSettings.aspx) in Site Settings, the w3wp process spikes to 100% on my SharePoint server and the page never loads.
Eventually I see "An unexpected error has occurred" (after about 5 minutes) and the following logged in ULS:
SOAP exception: System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted. at System.Threading.Thread.AbortInternal() at System.Threading.Thread.Abort(Object stateInfo) at System.Web.HttpResponse.End() at Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtilityInternal.SendResponse(HttpContext context, Int32 code, String strBody) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtilityInternal.Send404(HttpContext context) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SPBaseImpl.get_Site() at Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.ListDataImpl.GetReplicaId() at Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.ListDataImpl.GetListItemChangesSinceTokenCore(String strListName, String strViewName, String strQuery, String strViewFields, String strRowLimit, String strQueryOptions, String strChangeToken, String strContains, SyncKnowledge knowledge, String strSyncScope, Boolean useKnowledge) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.ListDataImpl.GetListItemChangesSinceToken(String strListName, String strViewName, String strQuery, String strViewFields, String strRowLimit, String strQueryOptions, String strChangeToken, String strContains) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.ListDataValidatorImpl.GetListItemChangesSinceToken(String strListName, String strViewName, String strQuery, String strViewFields, String strRowLimit, String strQueryOptions, String strChangeToken, String strContains) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.Lists.GetListItemChangesSinceToken(String listName, String viewName, SoapXmlElement query, SoapXmlElement viewFields, String rowLimit, SoapXmlElement queryOptions, String changeToken, SoapXmlElement contains)
Being that this error doesn't help much in figuring out the problem, I used Visual Studio and attached a remote debugger to the w3wp process, then tried hitting the page in my browser.
I see the following exception:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException occurred Message=List does not exist.
The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

(note that it says App_Web_areatemplatesettings.aspx)...then the w3wp starts to churn...and if I pause, I find it stuck around

Any idea what to do here?
This site was previously a sub-site that was converted into a top level site collection (I imagine that has something to do with the problem)...
