In a non-real-world situation, yes. (mem=3500k, many drivers, init=/bin/bash,
tried to enter a command). Since the process in question (bash) ignores
SIGTERM, I actually got a hard hang.
We really should turn this into a panic() (panic means your elevator control
system reboots and maybe misses the right floor. hard hang means you need
to reboot manually).
