Macs don't crash

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x001A3135): Unresolved kernel trap (CPU 0, Type 14=page fault)
[...]

So I was suspending the laptop after a long day, and the machine hung. The screen was off, no response from the caps lock light, and all fans on at full speed. I forcibly powered off the machine, and rebooted. During boot it didn't get as far as the startup sound before rebooting again, but then it came up cleanly.

I think Apple should be sued for false advertising for their Mac vs. PC adverts...
