I have a better idea:

Warning: Library closed twice.
This error occurred in ieee.library.
The program running when detected was Ray-Trace-4d.
Click left mouse button to reset.
Click middle button to kill Ray-Trace-4d.
Click right button to continue

Note: **NEVER, never FORCE a reboot when disk activity may be going on.
Note 2: Always allow the person to recover
Note 3: If you can't figure out who did it, don't require a kill
Note 4: You do have a 3 button mouse, don't you? :-)
