system lockup

[Dan Jones]

I can confirm Fred's problem.  However I got a little suspicious, so logged in
via a terminal line and tried it -- all was fine.

It seems to be just the console driver that cannot accept the big write.
Sending the info to a serial port or over ethernet to a telnet session works
just fine.

Anyone for an input buffer overflow problem in the console driver? {*grin*}

P.S. Anyone gotten ambitious and seen what happens if instead of 1MB of NULs,
one sends, for example, 1MB of 'A's????
