Hi. While testing some code with socketbuffers it came up that it's possible for any user to crash a 3.2-STABLE machine by just creating a lot of socketpairs, allocating some buffer memory for them, putting them in NONBLOCK mode and filling the buffer. FreeBSD 3.2 then simply panics and reboots. Linux is capable of handling the problem...
