It crashes too often (it's a shame).
But it never gets my box down.

I've just tried once, a few minutes ago on this PC (Mandrake 7.0) under my
usual X session. It indeed causes denial of service for a few minutes,
because the machine is busy forking until too many files/processes/memory
is eaten, then everything goes back to normal.
So, the machine does not crash either actually.
Even, none of my processes were killed (except the series of bash-gone-mad
caused by this command line).
