Markus, to your point regarding the user-land Java app crashing the

thread about writing a virus when they figure out the issue, but I
think that's idle talk born of frustration. The potential is pretty
ugly, though.
The potential should be pretty much zero.
A sudden kernel panic causes the loss of opened, but unsaved documents.
It easily triggers the corruption of opened files. On a default OS X
installation, the machine won't come up again without user interaction,
resulting in a loss of all services hosted on this machine for a
potentially long time.
What else do you want to get the potential above "zero"?
