6.2 SHOWSTOPPER - em completely unusable on 6.2

   Attached is a simple user program that will immediately cause pretty much
all of the network drivers (at least the ones I own) to stop working and
get watchdog timeouts.

WARNING: This program will kill the network on your 6.x server. Do not run 
this on a production machine unless you are on the console and can ctrl-C
it!
