Let's be clear..

Myth is a user application, it can *never* hang the kernel.
So stating myth hang your PC makes no sense at all. Your PC crash, it
just turned out that you were using myth at the time.

If the kernel crash (like it did today) your issue is either a bug in
the kernel/drivers or faulty hardware. When it's hardware it's usually
bad RAM.

You had a kernel page fault.
