The only condition I know, under which switching between X and console will 
hang your computer, is with the original nvidia-drivers. Since this 
happened to a friend of mine, I don't know if this is still the case, 
though.

OTOH I (and my friend,too) am using framebuffer for the console, so the 
issue might only occur with text-console...
