No rponse from these: Attempt to start new xterm to host (to run top) fails, Attempt to Control Z suspend the job in existing xterm is ignored, Stroking keypad (aka mouse wobble) ignored Screen stayed black (as it was before cos xdm was running & no human using it) No disk activity. Eventually laptop fan ran a bit faster for a bit (BIOS ?) I had to power off laptop to reboot.
