Sure, it's possible. In fact, a simple C program will frustrate many UNIX systems:

main()
{
    fork();
}


Heads up, though: I was just adjusting tab stops in a newly created stack under 2.7, Mac OS X.3, and Rev locked up. I force-quit and restarted Rev and the problem has not yet recurred.

If only computing were so simple. :)

Somewhere off in Bugzilla I have a recipe I stumbled across which brings the might OS X to its knees. No, not just my app -- the entire system.

No, that's not *supposed* to be possible.

But yes, these things can happen on even the most solid systems.

All software always has bugs, and that includes OSes too.
