--TRYliJ5NKNqkz5bu Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline On a FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT (Fri Mar 25 11:09:51 CET 2005) machine, the same happens. This machine has less memory 512 MB instead of 4GB, so the limit is lower than 60 MB: 31 MB is enough. It produces a file of 31506432 bytes on the NFS server, during which the machine becomes unresponsive and then never recovers. ping/ping6 still works, but that's all. Power cycling the machine is all that's left... Oh yeah, forgot to mention: this is as mortal user, not as root, so it's a simple local Denial of Service attack. :-( On FreeBSD-4.11 it works as expected, no hangs.
