It makes no sense to me that an application run as a normal user could lockup a machine.
Oh it's easy to crash a Linux machine with a fork-fest - any who can fork a process can do it, so a rouge app can certainly do the same. What desktop are you running? I previously had similar problems with Gnome on my Athlon XP under Gentoo that mysteriously stopped after a few package updates...and I found no bug alerts for my symptoms at the time. Any chance you can run top or some other real-time system monitor when the crash happens? -- Gary
