 Browse and Etoys installed an activity called Flipsticks in
 /home/olpc/Activities.
 Played around with Flipsticks and it freezed.
 Extremely slow mouse or keyboard response.
 Managed to go into developer console and using Terminal, found from 'top'
 that 'pdflush' was consuming 93% CPU.
 Removed power from laptop and reboot.
 Still have the same problem after reboot, system extremely slow with
 'pdflush' consuming 97% CPU.
 Removed power and reboot from a USB key containing Build 622 ext3.
 B4 is working fine again.

 What is a child suppose to do if an activity freezed?
