I pass along this exchange for the readers of this list since it appears to be relevant:
According to Dan Srebnick:

This is the response from miquels@cistron.nl:
This sounds like a kernel problem. A user level program should not be able to crash the machine. Even if sysvinit _was_ the culprit (which I doubt) then a reboot is still a kernel bug.
Try backing off to 2.0.36
