My view is that the kernel didn't prevent a badly behaved application
from screwing up the hardware => bug in Linux. That's half the problem
with NT -- far too many apps are capable of crashing the machine.
However, this has already been flamed to death from both sides, so until
we have a viable alternative, live with it (as others have pointed out,
GGI isn't yet ready, even if Linus were to allow it in the kernel).
