I don't recall being able to crash a UNIX System V machine with this, at
least not since release 2.2, so I guess it's only the "-alike"s that fail.

BTW, the original "bug" was described using a shell example in a paper
I've since lost track of.  If I'm not mistaken this same paper also
included the following example which crashed V7 as well:

	while : ; do
		mkdir a
		cd a
	done

This latter problem does seem to have been fixed....
