misc/131290: How to completely freeze FreeBSD 7.1 under a non-privileged user

[Sergey S]

Hello.

It sounds like you haven't tried to reproduce the bug. Actually it has
*nothing* to do with resource exhaustion and "slowly dying". Your
system will die before you can say "knife". Most probably it will
happen during the first call to escript.erl, but there is a chance
you'll need to run it a few times (2-3). So to automate it, I've
written loop.sh.

It isn't necessary to use loop.sh. Just run escript.erl (which doesn't
contain any memory/CPU consuming calls).

Just try it.
