Well, in the linux world, normal applications (not root ones) should
not be able to freeze the whole system. Such problems find their cause
in the kernel, and most of the time (from my trust in the kernel
code), it is a hardware problem more than a software problem.
mldonkey does a lot of disk accesses, and sometimes (often ?) uses a
lot of memory. This can stress your hardware and reveal some hardware
problems. Don't buy a new disk or new memory just for that, I just
want to say that this problem is probably not related to pango's
patch.
