SHON Simulate HONeywell CPU [permanent NO-OP]
I am guessing that this is a reference to the Honeywell 6000/DPS8 NOP
instruction which (curiously) can alter memory, page fault, tally runout
fault (IIRC) and loop infinitely (actually till the 16 millisecond
instruction timer causes a timeout fault).

In the early 1970s I remember seeing similer things for the PDP-10 and PDP-15.
