[comp.lang.c] Crash a RISC machine from user-mode code

trawick@bigbird.rtp.dg.com (08/13/90)

I tried crashme on a DG Aviion which is based on the Motorola 88100.
The system was running DG/UX 4.30.  I compiled it with (Gnu) cc.
Crashme reports catching 25 signals before it terminates.  It
certainly doesn't crash the machine.

Likewise here on Sun 4's running under 4.1.  The program caught 30 signals 
and then hung. A simple ^C killed it.
