      Ok, I have been corrected several times now. As I will
   readily admit, it has been years since it was explained to me.
   And yes, it does operate as above. But I am still pretty
   sure it will continually execute itself. As for the question
   as to why it is under revenge, if you get enough of these
   processes running from various accounts, it at least WAS
   (not sure if you'd notice on the new computer) possible
   to make a noticable drag on the system. 
      There used to be a bug in the accounting system that was
   used on the 3081D. Namely the register holding the dollar
   amount ($ybil dollar$ as they were called) did not protect
   the sign bit. By sending a job to the printer that was
   large enough, one could cause one's account to go negative
   enough to flip the bit, causing it to go positive. Then one
   would have the operator cancel the print job. (Which would
   normally be help due to its size.) This bug was fixed after
   it was made apparent to the people in charge.
