The following batch file causes DOS3.3 on a PS/2 to hang up,
soft reboot is the only way out (with BREAK=OFF (default)).
foo.bat:
set foo=%foo%xxx
foo
^Z
On command line overflow, the machine locks up.

First glance would tell me that the program would never finish.
You created an endless loop, that will crash on any DOS.
