I once called Mark Williams Co with the question "Where is the break key?"
They said, "What do you mean? Pressing F1 will stop a program...."

"But not a run-away program!"

I once worked on a 386 cross-assembler: it was going to run under MINIX,
but MINIX was so unstable then (summer 88) and had the same (flaky)trouble.
Program runs fine under TOS, but the debugger causes mistakes, or even
better, crashes under TOS but runs fine under CSD....
