Yup. "7.0 for Linux x86 (32-bit) (November 11, 2008)" gives nothing (an output line, but nothing there, and I can do other calculations on other lines). BUT clicking on the blank output line shows the error (caught by starting Mathematica from the command line) of:
"Mathematica has detected a possible internal error. If possible, please report the error to support at wolfram.com, quoting "Assertion 'lines != __null' failed at LineWrapBox.c:1467", and describe in as much detail as possible what you were doing when the error occurred."
with the processor stuck at around 80% and the memory slowly filling up.
