Want to stress out linux? The following program seems to do it
rather well:

===============

#include <unistd.h>

void main(){
  while(1) fork();
  }

===============

I am new to UNIX, but it seems to me that this sort of thing should
be protected against. I ran it as a regular user and managed to
lock up every vc and prevent further logins. How do commercial
UNIX's prevent this sort of thing?

Excellent job to Linus, Orest, HLU and all of you that have brought
me a real OS and freed me from the shackles of DOG.
