There were comments about this happening on F9 during the dev cycle as well.  I 
could get it to crash while trying to install itunes and get what seemed like a 
kernel level crash except it would still be pushing network traffic (I don't 
know if the traffic was garbage or not since no daemons would respond to 
incoming traffic, it only pushed traffic out).
