Description Juan 2007-03-13 10:55:09 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.10) Gecko/20070226 Fedora/1.5.0.10-1.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.10 pango-text

Description of problem:
Sometimes my computer (with only 256 RAM) gets stuck when swapping and accesing disk fast at the same time and I have to reset it. A new magic key able to deliver SIGSTOP to all the tasks (except init) would allow the user to recover from these situations.
