I had a case of a program running on a Bell Technologies MPE386,
under SCO 386 Xenix Version 2.3.1, which was causing the system
to lock up (no response to any typing on any terminal).  I finally
tracked it down.  This simple program demonstrates the problem
on my system:

	static char buf [1024 * 1024];

	main ()
	{
		write (0, buf, sizeof (buf));
	}

Can anyone else confirm similar symptoms?
