  I just heard of one today!  A buddy was rushing me off the phone because
his system had "locked up" yesterday, complete w/ a front panel attention
light and SRC code.  According to IBM tech support the code means that
"...a job or task has gotten out of control..."  The only way that they
could power off was to unplug the machine.

  I informed him of the "hoghunter" option that he possibly could have
used, but by then the damage was done.  He had numerous damaged objects.
