I just want to say that even though my own memory of a Jaws crash involved 
an earlier versin of Jaws and the a e  vowel combination related to another 
word,  I became curious because of this thread So I first went to 
dictionary.com to remind myself of the word's meaning (I know it only with 
an "a" at the end, usually used as a musical term (Italian language) to 
denote a pause.

Anyway, just typing it into the dictionary.com form froze my computer so 
that I couldn't exit any applications or shut down properly, so I had to 
reboot from the computer's power button.

I rebooted, then launched Word, typed the word there, and had Jaws do a say 
all on that line.  I got a gong noise as if I were being kicked off a cheesy 
talent show, and Jaws conked out, and I had to do some fancy dancing to exit 
the error dialogue box I saw but whose message I couldn't read, and then I 
had to relaunch Jaws.  One thing I learned from this is that I ain't 
choosing that word from my Word Thesaurus if I'm ever looking for an 
alternative to something I'm writing about a pause, even when that is the 
optimal word for the job.  No sir!
