In all my years using OS X, I've never seen anything like this. It was more than a crash, but not a kernel panic. I had left a download going overnight, and when I came back, I couldn't get my monitor to wake up.
I tried command-option-escape, command-option-shift-escape (like that EVER works when you need it...) and command-control-power. No effect.
Hardware power button, no effect. And it seems the Mac mini has no hard reset button (grrrr), so I unplugged it. When I turned it back on, I got a message saying "The computer was restarted after Mac OS X quit unexpectedly"
, with a button to report the error to Apple (which I did). I didn't know an OS could "quit unexpectedly".
I took some screenshots of the messages for your viewing pleasure.
