I actually tried to test before I replied, but on one system ddcprobe 
isn't installed, another it didn't find anything and the third (Fedora 
10) hasn't updated it's on-screen clock since 22:22:17 (it's now 08:21 
or so). I haven't decided whether it's hung (possible) or merely 
extraordinarily  busy (also possible).

I don't think it's hung, it can't execute "uptime" and "free" but it 
does respond to <enter>. It can have a few more hours, I don't recall 
seeing loadaverage >100 before.
