>Description:
	If you cat to /dev/speaker and start feeding it control sequences
	to play notes, eventually it crashes with the message:

		Fatal integer overflow in supervisor mode

	and proceeds to dump core.  Never mind that savecore can't decode
	the core which is dumped (that's another bug)
>How-To-Repeat:
	cat > /dev/speaker
