Back in the day there were two interesting bugs...<p>Bug 1 was the Intel F00F instruction which caused the processor to immediately halt.<p>Bug 2 is that it was possible to create monitor settings which would cause a CRT monitor to catch fire.<p>So... just for grins... set the monitor to &quot;catch fire&quot; setting and then execute F00F.<p>A real and practical &quot;halt and catch fire&quot;.
