I use luakit as my main browser, but multiple times it has frozen the entire system completely. My musicpd music continues to play in the background, though... but no input, not even mouse input is accepted. I'm guessing the program has been caught in an infinite loop or something and is somehow allowed to be taking 99.999% of CPU time and is allowed to eat it all because I can't think of many other scenarios where this sort of thing could happen.
How is it even possible a garden-variety program crash can bring down an entire multi-tasking OS (shouldn't a program like that eventually be killed by the OS or something)?
And most importantly, is there something I can do about it, to make my FreeBSD system as a whole more safe from any program crash while running?
