Mine's a laptop, and it acts like all the interrupts have been disabled
- nothing has any effect at all.

So far. WindowMaker flashes a clean desktop once, then I'm back at the
console. I see messages from X and/or wmaker, and I'm still logged in. I
haven't looked at ps to see if there's a bunch of garbage still there; I
was just so glad to see that prompt again...

And I haven't seen this happen on several Red Hats, a freeBSD, a couple
Mandrakes, or a couple SuSEs - just Debian.
