I guess it depends on a few things, because I have RedHat 6.1 installed and I
tested it very much to make it crash and the only way I found was to play with
my 3dfx acceleration and even then I'm not sure if the computer is crashed or if
it's only the video that is...
When I start a 3dfx program, at the beginning it prints "unprotecting memory",
holds for ~1 second and start... if I kill the program when it's unprotecting
the video memory, the video freezes...
And that's the only crash I found... there are some bugs that can hang the
computer for some time such as when the memory is getting very low... etc... but
nothing serious...
