On my machine (ALR 486, 12MB) the following program performs
18 loops and then hangs the computer. To be more precise: after the
18-th loop, the system begins to grab virtual memory.  Running it with
debug32, I had to reboot when more than 15MB virtual memory were used.
If you comment out the
   cin >> ch;
line, the program runs fine.
The problem is the same with djgpp 1.09 and 1.08.
Is this a problem with I/O stream interaction?
