[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Fireworks Show, an explanation please

lgreen@pnet01.cts.com (Lawrence Greenwald) (05/15/88)

Several people including myself have seen the fireworks show that occurs when
something is going HORRIBLY wrong.

Could someone do some research and post what is ACTUALLY happening when the
fireworks start sprouting?

Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

This is called stomping on the Coppers currently active list. This can be
the one it is using or the one pointed to by the screen structure (UCopList).

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
