	Could you provide code which crashes it through IPC?  Or a file
I could cat (containing raw nroff output, perhaps) which would crash it?
If you can give us hard data, we can use it to minimize our risk.  I've
run extensively with IPC and had no problem--but there's lots of ways to
use it, so I'm interested in which one breaks it.
