No; resetting them would indeed crash the computer, or at least use DOS memory no longer occupied by this program. FD DEBUG seems to unload debugee after it terminated and then create the dummy PSP like if no debugee is loaded at all.

The different segment results in that a loaded program will get it's own environment block opposed to the DEBUG dummy PSP that shares DEBUG's environment block; most likely the environment block of the loaded program will be just there where the dummy PSP itself will be created.
