I tested and found that my Linux machine works fine if I don't use a GL
screensaver. However when I tried a GL screensaver again my machine
froze. This time I had run this in a xterm as root:
sleep 35m; shutdown -r +5
But the machine never rebooted, which leads me to suspect that the
kernel crashed.
