crashme is part of the Linux cerberus test suite although it goes back
many years before. Roughly speaking crashme does this
Catch every exception
Generate random data
Execute it
(catching the exception to repeat)
Its found many things, including a K6 CPU bug. If you try it on your 390
make sure someone has tried it before you ;)
