PREV_DOC lots of times, each followed quickly by one or more 'z'.
Or first disconnect or otherwise make the network (and possibly
name server) unreachable (e.g. with a firewall rule), then a bunch
of PREV_DOCs.

Or, if compiled with at least some debugging info, attach with gdb
and 'set var nhist=10' (for example; never *increase* it).  You'd
lose (leak) all the memory used for the URL and title strings.
