First RAM is totally filled, and than /swap. At this state > machine crashs. This looks bogus to me. Could you double-check what you're typing at the command prompt? Is it really $yes 'yes' ? That won't crash a machine (or even put too much stress on it). Since the variable $yes is empty, and since the shell gobbles the quotes, you're effectively typing this: yes Since this program doesn't have a memory leak, I think you're doing something odd. Do you have the $yes variable set to anything before you do this? Seeing the exact messages issued at crash time, or even better a backtrace of the crash dump would help, but at this stage, I don't believe you. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
