Not sure if this has changed since Beta, but at that stage, you could
be kill-locked by just being aggroed by a mob and never actually
entering into active combat.

Which also meant you couldn't call for help, as often you would be
aggroed by a mob that - as far as your (or my) client was concerned -
hadn't even appeared in the game world, giving nothing to be targeted
(not even with TAB targetting).
