Apparent bug in 2.3

As I was having some problems with my equipment under Windows 98 SE, and not
satisfied with some system tests that are available, I developed this little
program to test extended RAM. I have not run it under 2.2 but only under
2.3. I used plain DOS, not a DOS window.
While no virtual memory is used, if one types a key other than 'e', the
sequence length at this moment is displayed. But when the program starts to
use virtual memory, typed keys have no effect, the disk is constantly
accessed, and the only way to stop the program is to hit ctrl-alt-del or the
reset button. I haven't tried this on a DOS window nor by exw.

constant MAXINT = 1073741823 --Largest Euphoria integer
procedure memtest()
    sequence s
    integer n, len
    s = {}
    len = 0
    while 1 do
 n = rand(MAXINT)
 s &= n
 len += 1
 if n != s[len] then
     printf(1, "Error: %d != %d at %d\n", {n, s[len], len})
     return
 end if
 n = get_key()
 if n = 'e' then
     return
 elsif n != -1 then
     ? len
 end if
    end while
end procedure

memtest()
