There's another point worth making here. If you think NS has crashed, use Alt-Break. Note: NEVER use Ctrl-Break, various RISC OS luminaries class it as Evil and say it Breaks Discs. I used Alt-Break on 2988 early yesterday evening because I also thought it had crashed. My disc is fine. Some of the NS builds recently have had detailed logging enabled by accident (one of the developers committed a change that he didn't intend to), and I can see that it might happen again, so please be aware of what to do if it should happen again: Alt-Break. FWIW I've used lots of CI builds of NS, and I've never had one that failed to respond correctly to Alt-Break.
