Sirs: I have been seeing a lot of weird things happening lately, I mean, after the 500-more package update. After the last updates a Centos 6.3 32-bit virtual machine running under virtual box 4.2.8 does not boot anymore. I have just updated my workstation to "Linux version 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild at c6b8.bsys.dev.centos.org) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Mar 13 00:26:49 UTC 2013" and it unexpectedly locked when I started Thunderbird (there was a VM running under Virtualbox when I did it). CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE apparently completed the "locking job". Are you noticing that too?
