I successfully crashed my box under linux with f00fc7c8.
I successfully crashed my box under win95 with f00fc7c8.
Both hard-froze, no mouse movement, no keyboard LEDs... etc.
The machine did not hard-freeze under DOS!!!! Though the debug program
locked, I was able to (a) toggle the keyboard LEDs with my keyboard and
(b) reboot the machine by pressing ctrl-alt-del.
This is very strange when compared to the opinions that have been
surfacing on this list lately.
I used the same method for crashing both DOS and windows. I started debug,
assembled the byte sequence and pressed "g".
