<sarcasm>
   FreeBSD is a bad OS.  This ASM code causes a memory
fault!

.globl _start
	.type start,@function
_start:
	jmpl 0xffffffff

and when I run it...

(chris@holly) misc-> make
as -o crash.o crash.s
ld -nostdlib -o crash crash.o
strip crash
(chris@holly) misc-> ./crash
Memory fault (core dumped)

</sarcasm>
