/***
* This program generates a sequence of lines reading
* "value=0" through "value=20000". Run the generated
* output through "sh" using the ". filename" command.
* On a VAX 11/750, its memory space (shown by "ps ux") gradually
* increases to about 850K before getting "Illegal Instruction"
* and a core dump. Analysis of the core dump via "strings core"
* shows "sh" aborted near "value=11841".
* On a SUN 170 Workstation, also running 4.2bsd, sh used
* 1150K before aborting near "value=18683".
*
* Problem submitted by Peter Montgomery of System Development
* Corporation in October, 1985.
