Ours was called Malcolm. He could break anything without trying. Eventually I had to add a series of traps in the code looking for unexpected input and branching to a subroutine with a label called [OhGodItsMalcolm] where the input was discarded before carrying on. This was our first real programming experience on a CCPM-based data processing system using Dataflex 3GL back in the mid 80's. It had 1MB of memory shared between the OS and the three user terminals.
