    I hope you realize that symptoms of this sort (system freeze) cannot be
    pinned on Opera or on any user-level code. When a system with protected
    memory exhibits gross, system-wide failures, it is by definition a bug in
    some privileged code (kernel or driver, e.g.) or a failure of some
    hardware component.

    The fact that the symptom is associated with the use of these applications
    is essentially incidental. Other applications that use the right
    combination of libraries, kernel functions, execution patterns etc. will
    trigger the same or similar symptoms.

    You either have some bad hardware or are running a buggy kernel or device
    driver.
