** Description changed:

  Upgraded from xenial to zesty recently.
  
  I was using a Firefox instance, one which is a part of Tor Browser
  Bundled. First, the application window grayed out, then the whole system
  froze for something like 30 seconds (I tried to switch to VT1 to no
  avail), then the process got killed.
  
  Well, not exactly killed.
  
  The grayed-out window is still there, `xprop | grep PID` and clicking on
  it gives:
  
  ```
  _NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 13
  ```
  
  PID 13 is a child of kthreadd:
  
  ```
  $ ps -A | awk '$1 == "13" { print }'
-    13 ?        00:00:00 cpuhp/1
+    13 ?        00:00:00 cpuhp/1
  ```
  
  And this is how the relevant part of `ps -AH` with the "killed" process
  looks like:
  
  ```
-  5709 pts/11   00:00:00           firejail
-  5710 pts/11   00:00:00             firejail
-  5725 pts/11   00:00:00               bash
-  5736 pts/11   00:56:49                 firefox <defunct>
-  5769 pts/11   00:00:24                   tor
+  5709 pts/11   00:00:00           firejail
+  5710 pts/11   00:00:00             firejail
+  5725 pts/11   00:00:00               bash
+  5736 pts/11   00:56:49                 firefox <defunct>
+  5769 pts/11   00:00:24                   tor
  ```
+ 
+ EDIT: Launchpad doesn't preserve whitespace apparently, so I'm adding
+ the output above as ps.log.
  
  I checked syslog and dmesg. Both of them have an interesting and
  identical message, which I add as dmesg.log.
  
  I also add the output of `cat /proc/version_signature` as version.log.
  
  I don't think `sudo lspci -vnvn` is relevant here, so I'm not gonna
  share it unless absolutely necessary.
  
  The crashed process will be there for something like 2 or 3 days at
  least (I don't restart my laptop often), so feel free to ask me to
  manipulate or query it somehow, if necessary.
