It's really hard to put the state back exactly the way it was - currently
running processes are particularly obnoxious.  At best, you can make it
not-too-obtrusive.  Of course, with *most* users, stealth isn't required,
as they'll just assume the frikking thing crashed and rebooted again.

It's also loads of fun if the box in question is a server that's being
monitored by Big Brother or similar.  Kinda hard to erase the 'red' marker
on the big screen in the NOC.  Similar comments apply to machines that
report to a central syslog server...
