Hard lockup pasting into /bin/ed.

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Bill,

My system uses the Intel 945 motherboard, and I paste without problems
into ed on it. My screen is 48 by 128, which I achieve by appending
vga=773 to the boot parameters list.  You might try adding that value
to yours if a better solution doesn't appear.
