>Description:
Trying to hang up machine with $yes 'yes'. Then watching stats with a "top".
First RAM is totally filled, and than /swap. At this state machine crashs.
I tried on a Debian : process "yes" killed when swap's full : no crash.
I don't remember exactly the system messages at that point, I'll see this
and show you.
I tried with differents shells, crash is happening quiker with some of them.
Whith bash2 : about 40 min before crash.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just try $yes 'yes'
