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. > I had a 3.x-STABLE system which seemed to flake out and lock me out of > the keyboard and mouse.

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. > Haven't seen the problem since I moved to 4.0-STABLE.
