"Run the <something> chain . . . " also assumes several things:

1. That you know how to follow a system control block chain
2. That you know how to use IPCS or similar memory-viewing software to follow 
such chains
3. That you have access to use that memory-viewing software at all
4. That you have authorized access to use that memory-viewing software to 
examine address spaces other than your own.

That's a lot of assumptions.  Many people on this list probably fit in all of 
them, but some of us don't (e.g., I only fit in items 1 and 2 above).

I don't think that follows.

"Run the <something>" is a common expression which I've known as long as I used 
IPCS, where it'd mean chain through successive instances of some arbitrary 
control block looking for something.
