Ah, forgot the context for my reply to Stephen Henson. Here's my diff:

Ok, so - I haven't been able to see what the stack values were before and
after the crashes, has anyone else got more info? My crashes have been
pretty consistently "pid 2 (AESSYS): Operating system killed.", but that's
MultiTOS for ya. As I mentioned before, this happened quite a bit to me today
whenever I finished a build of the MiNT source on my MFS partition. (I'd
finish a build running tcsh 6.02 in a miniwin window, move over to double-
click my C drive and boom, down it goes...)
