Yes, I think so too. Another bug or another condition that starts that
race, that freezes the system.

I think zRAM makes Lubuntu perform better and I want it, but if we
cannot get rid of the freezing problem, we must consider having it only
as an option in the live session (to make it possible to install with
low RAM), or skipping it completely and try zRAM again for the next
version, 14.04 LTS.

For example like this

In syslinux for the 32 bit system:

- 'Install Lubuntu' runs with zRAM
- 'Try Lubuntu without installing' runs without zRAM

And zRAM should not be used in the installed system.

-o-

I don't know about the 64-bit system. We need to consider syslinux,
grub-pc and grub-efi. I'm afraid it means a lot of cases to edit and test.

Also, I think zRAM is not as important for modern computers with more
horsepower and RAM.
