Crashing in 2.7

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

Sure, it's possible.  In fact, a simple C program will frustrate many 
UNIX systems:

main()
{
     fork();
}


Heads up, though: I was just adjusting tab stops in a newly created 
stack under 2.7, Mac OS X.3, and Rev locked up.  I force-quit and 
restarted Rev and the problem has not yet recurred.
