I'm curious to know if there are any input values (command line values)
for this program which can crash a DECSTATION. The input
%crashme 1000 10 200
will evidently crash a SUN-4. Determined experimentally on a SUN-4/110
running sun os 4.1 and a SUN-4/280 running 4.0.3

The idea was to see how a RISC processor handles the execution of
random data as if it were a program. For example this would happen
if the arguments to a X-Window subroutine with a callback procedure
were mixed up.
