Which version? I just installed Ubuntu Studio, and have played with Pd only a bit so far. I definitely haven't seen anything like that. If the whole thing is freezing, then it's very unlikely to Pd's fault, since the OS will prevent programs that kind of access.
Not true... I got sudden freezes (presumably kernel panics, but could not see any error messages) while just trying out GEM's DV camera support code transplanted into GF. I wasn't in suid root not root login, just plain user. That was in 2006 with some distro dated >= 2004. This is just an anecdote, but this isn't something so unlikely, because it was a usual kernel of a usual distro.
