Ctrl-Alt-Backspace Behavior

I am using SuSE 7.2 with a TNT2 nvidia card. It has crashed on me 
twice. In both cases it seemed like X crashed. Everything went away 
except the wallpaper of my KDE2 desktop. In both cases, I had a 
disturbing experience: all I wanted to do was restart X, so I pressed 
ctrl-alt-backspace. In both cases, instead of restarting X, it rebooted 
my system!

I have never heard of Linux rebooting when ctrl-alt backspace is 
pressed, yet it has happened to me twice. Has anyone heard of this or 
does anyone have an idea of how to avoid it rebooting when all I want 
is to restart X?
