Hmm, I had something similar happen today.  I had been using TexShop 
earlier in the day, then had put my PowerBook to sleep. I woke it up, 
TexShop was in the foreground, hid TexShop, and popped in a DVD.  DVD 
player hung, and would not respond to force-quit.  I tried using 
terminal to kill it from the shell, but terminal and then my entire 
system froze (complete freeze, cursor didn't move, etc.).  This is on a 
new PBG4 running 10.1.2.  I didn't have classic running.  Kind of 
embarrassing, as I was trying to show off OS X to somebody.
