Yeah that sounds like a bad thing. The other thing that can go wrong is
hibernating the OS and the running a LiveCD which abuses the swap partition
which was full of the memory state information. According to google that has
been the case with all live distributions which use a swap which is found on the
disk. I guess there is no way of flagging that it is not to be touched. I can
imagine that may be difficult to implement if there was a crash etc.
Could you file a bugzilla bug?
