This reminds me of a bug I found, but have yet gotton around to
reporting :-( (shame on me). It may be that this is the same bug.

If you make type and run resident, have NEWCON: mounted and do the following:

in RAM: have a script and a big file. The script is just a bunch of 
 run type >newcon:0/0/640/100/BUG! ram:bigfile

 and execute it.

 You should probly have 30-40 "types" to assure that the bug will show.

This will usually crash the machine even when there is plenty of memory
(i think, but I only have 512K ). I think that some of the windows
started closeing when it crashed every time I tried it.

I found this out when I was testing the residentability of a program
I was writing.
