After exiting XFree86, my machine had a frozen console. I tried switching, got that infamous "never-ending high beep from the old pc speaker", tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, Ctrl+Esc, to no avail. I was about to give up but I said "what the hell" and typed "cont\n". Lo, my system was rebooting from the ctrl-alt-del, and it seemed for some reaason that it got stuck inside ddb.
