You have to find the stack, which isn't located in the u-page.  However,
you are in luck.  The address of the stack is in the u-page.  Also, the
name of the command is in the u-page.

There are problems.  The u-page might be swapped!  Fear not, there is a
crash(1) clone in the comp.unix.misc archives.  I wrote it for SCO Xenix
2.2.1 on a 386.  It has the code needed to find a u-page, swapped or not.
