"medit .fonts.cache-1" -> system freeze!

:shock:  :shock:

what's goin on here?
ive tried(!) to open the ".fonts.cache-1" file with "medit" and BAM! nothings working, X immedeately seemed to crash. the only thing i saw after doublecliking the file was colors in lines and a bit of black/white (like on tv..) all mixed, only crap to sum it up and the only thing i could do was a press on the reset button!  

is this a bug in medit? ... why the whole system freezes then?, thats pretty ugly imo :oops:

what data may be destroyed ? can it be?

Re: "medit .fonts.cache-1" -> system freeze!

Can you SSH in from another box? Crashes are one of X's annoying features, the server can sometimes freeze up and deny all input even while the rest of the system is running fine.
