proc on q
/*
 *	This program helps generate the "proc on q"
 *	diagnostic.  By putting a 9600 keyboard in
 *	CBREAK mode and pounding on the keyboard,
 *	we have been able to consistently produce the
 *	diagnostic in the first line or two of typing.
 *	This diagnostic comes from an interrupt window
 *	in the following code in sig.c:
 *		if(p->p_stat == SSLEEP && p->p_pri > PZERO)
 *			setrun(p);
 *	The fix is to bracket the code as follows:
 *		s = spl6();
 *		<ABOVE CODE>
 *		splx(s);
