<various stuff about fixing this problem>

In the short time since I first posted the "Barfing up apps" message I
have received a number of helpful ideas, some quite exotic. I tried them
all, and none of them worked. 
But I did fix it! I simply set FILES= and BUFFERS= both 20. My PS/2 works
fine with the FILES=30 and BUFFERS=10, my 386 clone (you may have seen it
advertised in the back of PC Week as "the Beast") requires the other
setting.

Sigh.
