>Description:
I am sending a port of my program forkbomb. When playing with this prog
i have found that freebsd has weak realloc() implementation and submited
bugreport about it yesterday. I hope that some kern developer will look at it
and he can use this program for realloc() testing. Classic fork() bomb
do not cause any problems on FreeBSD.

Xforkbomb is tool for stres testing. It can create many processes using fork(),
Xeats all available memory using realloc() and access this memory. It has
Xdifferent switches for fine-tuning operation. While classic fork() bomb is good
Xonly for fun, running multiple memory-eaters can be usefull for determining
Xmaximum memory which can be given to servers (bind or squid) without taking
Xmachine down.  You can test different operation systems with this tool and see
Xhow they are handling the load.
X
XTesting using this tool shows:
X  Linux 2.4 crashes on fork(), memory leak in kernel?
X  very good fork() resistance of FreeBSD
X  serious troubles in FreeBSD realloc().
