Another thing that can cause these symptoms is a continuous series
of interrupts.  This will usually show up as a small set of different
PC addresses, since the machine gets to run the interrupt handler,
but not much else.

Incidentally, on a 780, you must indeed use the HALT command (`h'
will do) to stop the processor; on the 750, the console loop is
run by the main CPU, so simply typing ^P causes a halt.  Also, on
a 780, the easiest way to obtain a crash dump is to use `@crash'.
On a 750, you cannot `DEPOSIT PC -1'; you must use `D/G F FFFFFFFF'
instead.
