Hi -- You may already know about this one, but if not, here's another
quick way to crash a sun-386i:

	{csh:1} unlimit datasize
	{csh:2} unlimit stacksize
	{csh:3} ls

Even the commands:

	{csh:1} limit stacksize 4m
	{csh:2} sync

which should be legal (from "limit -h"), doesnt work.  '4m' is parsed
wrong (?), and yields a 4 Gigabyte (not megabyte) limit, so the sync
dies....

(4.0.1, Sun 386i/250, 8 Meg, 2*300M drives, 1 cartridge tape, 
1 proteon, Friday evening, humidity 70%, 80' elevation, barometer 39.25 and
rising).
