Simultaneous cat and external keyboard input causing kernel panic (2011)
I misremembered, it was this one, about Linux mint and cinnamon screensaver (used as "lock screen" I guess):
https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/issues/354
While searching I also found some issues with cat in the Ubuntu bug tracker:

Green Screen of Death
I'm not sure what you mean by "green screen of death", that isn't a common complaint. It could be a cinnamon-screensaver bug. An issue there would probably show up in the file ~/.xsession-errors and could be posted to the bug tracker https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/issues
- Trying to make a suspend script but have a catch 22
- Lock Screen saver resets display config

Kids Find a Security Flaw in Linux Mint by Mashing Keys
Anecdotally, I use xidle[0] and xlock[1], and have found both to be very reliable. xidle supports locking the screen by sending it SIGUSR1, which is really useful since you can trigger it from a process that doesn't have DISPLAY set.
The trick on laptops is to block on sending the signal in the script you use to suspend, so that when the laptop resumes the display is already locked.
