Actually, if you type CTRL-C in the middle of a configure script, the machine
freezes as well.  I finally got groff to untar and actually compile with a
little coaxing under b19 (but not b18), so now the groff script that emulates
nroff freezes when Midnight Commander calls it.  It freezes while `sh' is
the title of the window.
