Yeah...  talk about the twilight zone!

I was just plodding alone trying to figure out how to
build and install snort on FC5T3 and BOOM!  A FLASH,
BLACK SCREEN OF VOID ---  silence ---  15 seconds ---
and then a blue login screen!  WHAT THE ....

Hmmm......

So, I logged back in....  checked the /var/log/message
and found the following....
