What kind of a processor _do_ you have?  If you don't have a Pentium,
what is it supposed to do when it received an unrecognized opcode?  Some
processors just stop working.  Others call some bad-opcode-handler
interrupt.  Even if your processor calls an exception interrupt, the
setup may not have made it do anything besides hang the computer.
