>Description:

system runs out of resourses, and locks up when a normal user runs a 
script that calls itself...
i have both searched the web, and read almost the entire online freebsd 
handbook looking for a solution to this problem, and have yet to find an 
answer to it...
it could just be me, but i have had a few users who do this 
"accidently"...
 >How-To-Repeat: 

create a script that calls itself multiple times in a loop
