The Minix ST 1.3 lpr command makes the system crash with a bus error
when killed with kill. What I do is simple: I start `lpr file' in
background to be able to do some work. Then I decide I want to stop
the printing of the file and I `kill pid' it. The system immediately
stops, reporting a bus error, and, if I remember well, displays the
pc and sp registers. I simply reset.

Anyone got into that trap ?
