Yes, something written into the kernel of A/UX to watch the keyboard
for something unusual, like shift-control-command-power (the little
triangle key), which would kill term and whatever else was running.
Hmmm...  Is anyone on the A/UX development team listening???  I, too,
have had the machine lock up on me (outside of term) once when I ran
one of the games that came with A/UX!!!
