Far worse than when an app went mad with the swap space. If I don't CTRL ALT BACKSPACE fast, that's it, I won't be able to do anything with the keyboard, and hardly anything with the mouse, I'll have to hit the hardware reset button. It rapid-fire tries to reload an unplayable file, in an infinite loop, and everything suffers. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.88.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 7 15:41:52 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
