So, I have a mildly-reproducible spontaneous reboot on my laptop.
Is there anything useful to do to debug this?
I can crash reliably by trying to open a specific RTF file in Abiword.
Unfortunately, the file is under an NDA, so I can't distribute it. If I
open the file, my laptop makes an odd noise, and then reboots.
I can do things to the file other than open it in abiword. Opening it
in Ted works fine...
I'm a little disturbed to see a user application reboot the system.
