With 5.3, we saw OS (memory, file-locks) corruption after certain severe
pipe crashes. The only course of action was big-booting the system. I've
seen some similar (what I assume is) OS or pipe-state corruption with
6.4 which manifest as persistent frame-rate and I/O chuggyness that only
goes away on big-re-boote'.

Best course of action: don't crash.
