If I start an APL session and do this:
1001 ⎕svo 'foo'
1
⎕svq ''
Then APL locks up. The OS reponse suffers. There's a lot of disk activity.
When I kill the APserver process, APL responds:
100 210
The disk activity continues until a short time after I exit APL.
And the question: Should ⎕svq '' also report 1001? (See pg. 331 of the IBM
reference manual.)
FWIW, I did the same experiment with two instances of APL trying to see
whether the "other" APL would see shares offered by the first APL, but I
ran into the same lockup problem.
