Leaving one core free won't help you at all. Even with all cores  
exhausted you can still launch additional applications or tools.  
You'll get 50% of one core only[1], but that's plenty to find and  
kill a runaway process.

If you ever experience a totally locked system, this is clearly a bug  
of the OS. Ah, and please don't confuse a locked display process with  
a locked operating system.
