Running my usual ssh-keyscan stress-test on a list of around 6000
'local' hosts, I got a freezeup (around half a minute) a few minutes
after the program terminated. Nothing worked, I couldn't even switch
VTs. No long-lasting ill effects, though, although I was sorely tempted
to hit the BRS.

Here's my .config.
