It should be very very difficult to crash the sage server, since it is very much a separate process from anything that does any computing, and the linking between the two processes is only via a pseudo-tty, so it's very hard to crash the server -- in fact I know of no systematic way to do so. > didn't work, so I tried quitting/restarting the worksheet, and now I > can't access the server at all.
