Are you sure that it has actually crashed?
I do a similar operation on some text files (usually transferred via Xmodem)
to get rid of the extra carriage returns and I am always amazed at how
bloody long it takes to do so.
I have also thought that it had crashed because the keyboard had frozen,
but it hadn't quite finished yet.
Does your 'Z' actually summon the guru, or do you kill it?
