If that happens, the input device will run bezerk as it will execute code on memory that has been released already.
Been there, done that.

This was more about the meaning of the acronym than anything else, guess that backfired.
From my memory fragments when testing GOMF back in the early 90s it was more of a joke than something useful. It did suspend the task, remember that much, but you still felt like pressing CTRL-Amiga-Amiga really fast. For the A500 I had Nordic Power (hardware freezer), that was more useful.
