If the filesystem got corrupted it might do something... though in

Actually, I did # top and took a closer look... my pagefile wasn't
mounted. I fixed that... I think a hibernate command axed the swap
partition. mkswap and swapon then fixed that problem. Oh well...
it's what you get for toying with the (highly-experimental) ACPI

Luckily I won't have to do that yet! Back when I was using Kubuntu I
didn't know about mkswap and swapon, so I was rather mystified.
However, I'm really happy I was able to find the problem. Shows I'm
learning something : )
