I'm pretty sure this will wind up being an isolated incident for me, but I thought I'd document this anyways:
* 10.7.3
* 2008 MacBook Unibody, 8G RAM
* CPU goes to 200% and stays there, syslogd is 175%
* Fans kick up after a couple of minutes
* System becomes unresponsive
- Can't open Console (bouncing in dock only)
- Can't open Activity Monitor (bouncing in dock only)
(I use iStat Menus to watch... stats in the... menu bar)
- Beachball appears
- Mouse freezes/locks in place
* Reboot vía power button (sad!)
After rebooting, there's nothing of note in the Console for the time period in question.
Oh well. Did a Google search and not much to see. No logs -> nothing to troubleshoot.
