Well, I couldn't get it to show itself, but.. I was astonished to see that the box lived through it. So... thanks to you and the rest of the fbsd team for contributing to a great OS. Through all of the load I put on the machine, it would still switch consoles without hesitation, and a control-c killed the parent process immediatly, returning the bots to a normal usable state. Below is my load average done immediatly following my massive forking... bits@chaos:~>uptime 6:51PM up 1:12, 5 users, load averages: 917.77, 875.69, 572.58 bits@chaos:~> That was after about 10 mins of running the program, the source of which is attached.
