How do you crash your UNIX

NeXT's ( NeXTae? NeXTi? ) seem to have an interesting aversion to
FIFO's. I made a FIFO in my filespace that lives on a Sun 4, and
tried to use the FIFO with my file space mounted on a NeXT. I'd
forgotten that the FIFO existed, and hadn't put anything in it. When
my newsposter tried to read from it, a nifty system panic window
popped up, scrolled a bunch of friendly error messages and died.
