Along the lines of "don't let it happen to begin with", is this type of
thing one reason people recommend multi-processor machines for servers? 
I'm under the impression that if one process goes totally bezerk and
overcomes a processor, the rest of the processes will be assigned to the
remaining processor and life can continue on.  Is that a naive
understanding of SMP?  Does SMP really improve the situation with a
hosed system like that?
