Links would have been nice for the curious.

Wikipedia knows
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THE_multiprogramming_system
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hessling_Editor
which both predate the spread of the web, so you can't fault them for not anticipating searchability problems.

http://why.lri.fr/ OTOH should have known better. It's not on Wikipedia, so finding it was a bit harder.

That said, searching for "awesome wm crash" WFM. Best in google, but ddg does reasonably well.
