AT&T  7300's and 3b1's (the Unix-PC) will crash if you write to the
floppy from a shared-memory segment.

AT&T 3b2's with the old 23Meg streaming tape will crash if you
put the tape into streaming mode and then write a chunk larger
than it expects in a single write().  (And since this magic size
isn't mentioned in any of the normal documentation, it's pretty
easy to miss...)
