After all this talk about blob-only software... Skype is absolute
proof of why we shouldn't have blob-only software. The recent
hoo-ha about it grabbing BIOS dumps and sending them back to the
servers on X86 machines really shows that software can do nasty
things. Nobody even noticed because they

As far as I know, if you leave it open you're not liable because
you cannot prove who would have strolled by. If you put any

Turn on as much verbose logging as you can and see what you get. Do you
get any kernel crash messages on the console when the machine hangs or
does it just hang up and die?
Your first port of call is to get the system logs out of the machine.
