Thanks.  That trick is new to me.

I've tried the alt-sysrq-reisub reboot now after a lock-up.  The machine
does the first half of a reboot, but when it comes time to start up the
OS or even get to Grub, nothing happens even after waiting a long while.
 The key sequence seems to have no effect if I try it a second time.  To
get the machine to really restart it is necessary to powercycle it.

PS. I'm moving this from lubuntu-users over to lubuntu-qa.  Crash with
potential data loss is red bug material.
