Yes - no response to anything but ping. Because it wasn't *completely*
unresponsive, I had hoped there might be some recovery possible. When it
came down to it, Ctrl-Alt-Delete didn't do anything either. In the end
it was the BRB.

Come to think of it, X did that to me once a while back on the same
machine. Alt-Ctl-Backspace got me out of it. But on the occasion I'm
whining about, nobody was logged in and the machine should have been
idle, being 7:00am and all.

I'll do that, Real Soon Now.
