This has happened to me twice at work using acroread (as plugged into Opera),
and once at home using large fonts in the Gimp. After a reboot from the Gimp
crash, I tried to use a large font again and hung X. Ctrl-Alt-BS got me out
the second time, where it would not the first time.
Both machines in question are 2.4.14 kernels.
