Comment # 26 on bug 1014999 from Nolan Leasy

I just experienced this on a Thinkpad T450 running a fresh snapshot of
Tumbleweed and the MATE DE.  Everything froze completely on me and I wasn't
even able to CTL-ALT-F3 to a command line.  I had to hard boot the machine.

My system information:

nsleasy@t450:~> cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed"
# VERSION="20180219"
ID=opensuse
ID_LIKE="suse"
VERSION_ID="20180219"
PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed"
ANSI_COLOR="0;32"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed:20180219"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.opensuse.org"
HOME_URL="https://www.opensuse.org/"

I am still wondering if this is some sort of memory management issue related
primarily to Thinkpad hardware.  Most of the postings on this bug seem to be
from Thinkpad users.  I have never experienced this on my HP ProBook 4430.

If there are specific system logs somewhere that I might provide, please let me
know, but I suspect this is a situation where logs would not be useful.
