Subject: /boot/loader's ``set'' and ``load'' commands crash the bootloader.

>Description:

	Boot into the loader and type ``set''<Enter>. Boom.
	``load'' yields ``\'' as output and seems to take a random number of
	times to crash the environment.
	A BTX register dump results.

	(I can stick some debugging printf's in there if that is deemed
	useful. Looking the set code it seems weird that this happens though.)

>How-To-Repeat:

	Type ``set'' or ``load'' a few times at the loader's command prompt.

>Fix:
	
	Don't do that :-)
