crash!

Hi.. my system just hung while I was typing a message in knode.. The relevant 
messages from syslog seem to be the following:

Sep  7 10:09:28 ibook kernel: SysRq : HELP : loglevel0-8 reBoot tErm kIl

Sep  7 10:09:31 ibook kernel: Done.
Sep  7 10:17:11 ibook syslogd 1.4.1#11: restart.

I had to do a hard reboot on my ibook... I'm running a 2.4.20-ben10 kernel 
with KDE 3.1.. Any ideas on what may have caused the crash?

thanks,
