Time ate my RS/6000 F50 (poor thing).

Turns out the script I'm trying to write is even more complicated than I
thought.

It didn't just print 1234567890... it printed:

1 2 3
123456789012345678901234567890...

I know I've seen programs do this before so there must be some fairly
common logic to it, but I can't figure it out.
