Hallo again-
Andrew kindly suggested that I add RAM to avoid swapping and copying
at the same time. (He also suggested niced "cp", a suggestion which I
blithely ignored :) )
Also Jon seemed to think it was a hardware problem... what, MY
10-year old 486 have a hardware problem? You must be mad! :)
Anyway, it WAS a low-RAM box, so I bumped it up from 16 to 48.
The copy killed the machine in about 10 secs.

...and so on. You can switch virtual consoles, but not log in to any
of them :) Also, the disk light stays on solidly.
I do have an Old Scary Type disk in there with incomprehensible
jumper settings, but it worked under SCO (though as a SCO box it was
probably never asked to push large amounts of data across the SCSI bus
either).
Like I said, it's old hardware, and I'd rather see developers work
on the new Adaptecs than the old junk. On the other hand, if some SCSi guru
sees an easy fix, or an obvious pointer to a hardware problem, I'd be
grateful :)
Cheers!
