Well, this isn't from a production program, but it is a rather cute 2 line
assembly program for the IBM 1130 (Marietta College had one in 1977 that
had 8K of core memory):

	LD	*
	STO	*

The memory was wrap around, so this program would keep storing the store
instruction in the word next to be executed.  Made the pretty lights
blink for a LONG time.
