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).
