I've had a few apps stop running/crash. It does not seem as though
there are subsequent consequences - I can seemingly reopen the app and
continue. In Win, this is sometimes a problem. Can apps foul up the OS
such that it has to be rebooted? Any other things to look out for on a
crash? How will I know when I have a real problem?
the only problem I've ever seen is that when you kill the app, it keeps an instance running in the background (usually Galeon, why I keep putting up with that browser I don't know...). you can see if a process is "running away" by running "top" (ya, I know, you prolly already knew that) and seeing if anything is maxing out your cpu. otherwise, if you kill an app, the worst thing that could happen is the lost data, I have never heard of an app hosing the OS unless it was perhaps being run as root.
