It shouldn't crash. If the Eu prog in question is a console (text-mode) program,
it should run, but no output will be seen.  If the program has a loop, waiting
for a keypress or something, you can see it and kill it if necessary, using 
top or ktop. Strangely, exu will identify itself as "3" to top or ktop. Other 
Linux programs identify themselves by name.

If the Eu program is an xWindows program, it'sn not necessary to click "run in
terminal" unless the program writes to stdout.
