Somebody posted last week about a case sensitivity problem with pipe:.
That one hasn't bitten me, but has anyone ran into this one? (BEWARE:
THIS CRASHES MY MACHINE, SO SAVE YOUR WORK IF YOU'RE GONNA TRY IT AT
HOME.)

Type the following from shell:

> run type >pipe:a libs:asl.library opt h <cr>
> type pipe:a <cr>

Now, while the contents of the pipe are printing, hit ctrl-C. On my
A3000, the disk light flashes for a while after the prompt returns and
soon crashes, try clicking the left mouse button a couple times.
Mostly dies with software failure, sometimes a recoverable alert, once
in awhile it is locked solid. 

The file being redirected to pipe doesn't seem to matter, neither does
run; you can type the two line in different shells, same result.
Copying the file to pipe:a then typing it seems to work okay.  

Problem doesn't occur if I boot KS and WB 1.3.

I'm running KS 36.143, WB 36.68. I've reproduced it from a cold boot
from floppy. Does this happen to anyone else?
