|| Usually, that means that the MacOS crashed.
I don't think this is MacOS's fault.
This happens to me very frequently. I observe mostly when I leave MOL
running for a long time, and/or I switch a few times between the MOL
console and X windows (let's say 4 or 5 times in each direction), and/or
I put my PowerBook to sleep and wake up while MOL is running.
I've learned to avoid doing all those things, but the problem still hits
me relatively often. I get the impression MOL gets confused when I do
several things at once. Is it losing interrrupts maybe?
In my opinion this is the most serious problem with MOL and the main
reason why I sometimes boot into MacOS rather than use MOL all the time.
