Just had OpenOffice crash when I went to open the "File" menu to save the document I'd just finished. The computer was loaded, but not horrifically so, but once that menu started the whole machine just stopped responding (even to ssh logins)... other than a cursor, no signs of life.

This is now the second time this has happened. It's frustrating because it normally happens when I'm in the middle of some big office-related operation (paying taxes, doing invoicing, dealing with government correspondence) and it forces a hard reset, so blows away the rest of my work.

Sigh.
