Like John, I can't think of anything off hand to prevent this in the future. However, if you're working with a script that causes this to happen again, please send us the script. It may indicate an infinite loop or unbounded memory usage, and we'd like to track it down and fix it.
Also, as nice as interactive use is for experimentation, I usually build my important plots (where I'm concerned about losing data etc.) in a script file (.py), and then run that. That way if things do get stuck, I can kill python and start over pretty easily.
