(btw, in case it is not obvious, the solution described here is a form of
dead-man switch, which is a proven method to handle operator failures. In
the case of a computer, the operator is the system.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_man%27s_switch

The basic principle behind a dead-man switch is that you go in safe mode
unless you can prove the operator is alive, instead of using error
detection to trigger safe mode. The first model is a lot more reliable
than the second.)
