Yes, .17 and .18 blew up quite spectacularly on tsw a few times. It seems that certain situations end up with swap being consumed and never released. .19 (or maybe .20 now?) cured the problem.
And what were those keys that try to reboot cleanly again? (not the ctl-alt-del)
Hold AltGr and SysRq, then tap out s u u b (sync, unmount, unmount, boot)
You should sync after umount too or else you'll probably get spurious fscks on boot (it needs to write a clean umount flag to the superblock)
