I was running XFree86, supposedly with sawfish and Gnome 2 (in a half-done
kind of way), had run screen and mp3blaster from a command line then
detached... I had just edited a JPG using GIMP, did a save as to the new
image and clicked [X] to close the GIMP, it asked "Really close The GIMP?"
I clicked Close and...

Clicking anywhere would do nothing.  Pressing ctrl-s ctrl-q ctrl-. ctrl-\
ctrl-c ctrl-alt-F1 ctrl-alt-BS ctrl-alt-DEL you name it, I tried it.  The
music (mp3blaster) kept playing but The GIMP managed to force me to press
the hard reset button and my box was not pleased.  Oh my question:

How was FreeBSD 4.6.2 able to log "crash" to wtmp?  And how do you remember
whether it is utmp or wtmp?  What do they stand for?
