Well, I just got the same freeze without even opening liferea. I'm now sure it wasn't liferea, but something with the kernel. I tried numlock and caps lock, neither worked. uname -a:
Linux cjhard 2.6.15-6-686 #1 SMP Thu Dec 1 04:13:59 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

It seems to be the same problem I've had with the 2.6.12 SMP kernel. I didn't realize SMP was in the kernel by default now. I didn't even notice the second CPU listed in System Monitor. I was just browsing the net, and downloading a few files, and got a lock up. I believe it might have something to do with madwifi, which I require for a D-Link card. Nothing's overclocked, no BIOS tweaks, CPU better be sufficiently cooled with that giant arse fan and heatsink. I don't have time for memtest for a whole day. I believe 2.6.12 was doing the same thing with SMP.
/me should have done more playing around before reporting bug
