Summary:             Instructor is a 32 bit instruction set auditor.
                     By sequentially executing every 32 bit op-code,
                     one can find instructions that might have adverse
                     effects on operating environments.  For example,
                     Instructor was used to find the non-privileged
                     halt instruction <http://www.ksrt.org/adv9.html>.

                     For a description on how this program differs
                     from the 'crashme' program, please read the
                     comments at the top of the source file.

Disclaimer:          Exercise extreme caution when running this
                     program since it may cause your system to
                     abruptly halt, panic, or reboot.
