There's a first time for everything

My first Suse 9.3 crash: system suddenly becomes completely unresponsive. No free memory available (including 1 GB of swap). Only running applications are Firefox and snotes (a sticky notes application).

As I was trying to post this entry earlier, the problem recurred: the culprit seems to be the Firefox window that opens up if you invoke Blogger's spellchecker. If there are any typos in this post, you knw whom to blam.
