--- Comment #34 from MirceaKitsune <sonichedgehog_hyperblast00 at yahoo.com> ---
Today I discovered that even when not toggling desktop effects at runtime, the
freeze can still be mined into the system. I got a crash after 1 day of uptime,
no toggling of desktop compositing required.

I find it remarkable how the cause of the crash appears to have immediately
changed after me making the comment above yesterday; I tested my theory that
desktop effects are the root for 2 months, yet the moment I publish my
observations the behavior changes in less than a day. This further makes me
concerned that someone might be deliberately programming this crash using
vulnerabilities in system components, solely for how strange this coincidence
is. I'm still waiting for the developers to help investigate this further
whatever the case, as I cannot find any explanation at this point.
