My favorite is to run several pathalias processes.  A good trick is to
make a seperate copy of the executable for each process so that the text
isn't shared.  I located a paging panic error in my new 386 system with
this.  However, trying to explain this to the DOSheads at the store who
sold me the system has been a barrel of fun.
