Ouch! What version of Windows are you using? I seem to recall that DOS &
Windows used to remap an interrupt (divide by zero? overflow?) to be a
printer interrupt, so certain fatal exceptions trapped by the hardware
would just start printing crap out on the printer inadvertently. I wonder
if this is still the case in newer versions of Windows?
