showme crashed all the time the first year or so, as I recall. 
Everyone would log in at once and run pine.  The load average would go
nuts, then *bam* reboot, then people would start logging back in again
and the whole thing would start all over.  I remember very clearly
this happening, at least at the start of the '94-95 academic year
which I believe was the first academic year that showme was in use.
