I can make my terminal reliably freeze up if I run out of memory.
Usually, running upas/fs with a large mailbox does it.  I sometimes
get up to 1,000 mail messages, and my resulting 10 MB mailbox
blows up to 60-70 MB of memory used by upas/fs.  When that happens,
my terminal just completely freezes.  Mouse stops tracking.
No keyboard input.  Not even ^T^Tr works.  No "out of memory" prints
from the kernel on my console.  I do have swap enabled, which may
be a bad idea.
