Yes, please don't waste time on this one because it was never intended
to be a bug report. This happens so occasionally I was not able to
reproduce it yet.

every single day and haven't encountered this, I suspect that if the
problem really exists, it must lie somewhere outside of the domain I
have control over. Particularly the part about rebooting. Sometimes
JACK will hang, but I've got nothing to do with that, and even in that
case just killing JACK and restarting it should be sufficient.
I actually did experience something similar recently, but it had
nothing to do with my software or anyone else's: My video card was
failing and taking the computer down with it (buying a new card fixed
the problem). I also had something similar happen on my laptop but it
turned out that disabling the PSR feature of the intel video driver
was all that was required.
People always blame the software they're using at the moment of a
crash, but IME, hard system lockups and crashes are almost never
caused by a unix process, it's far more likely to be a
hardware/driver/subsystem thing.
Anyway, I'm probably wasting my time talking about it because the
whole thing is probably just an attempt at trolling.

A proper bug report would be useful, and I doubt it would get
a hostile reception. In the ~7 years I've used Non as my main
DAW I've submitted several bug reports, a couple of minor
patches, and had a couple of feature requests accepted. All
of this was dealt with pleasantly and efficiently (no surprise,
as I try to avoid wasting developers' time with out-of-scope
feature requests or half-baked bug reports).
