An interesting comment.  I did UCSD-Pascal programming (production
level,  not hobbyist or home) on the Terak for a  number of years.
I never had a problem with crashing. Unless you consider it a crash
when a program died trying to open a file and finding no space even
though half the disk was empty.  :-)
