Sorry for fooling you into killing your machine. :))

Later today I'll post a scheduler patch that speeds up the fork bomb too :)

Thank you for the explanation.

@David: I see [1][2] that you marked the patches as Rejected. If it's
not a script that sends all my patches to /dev/null because of the
100+ patch set I sent a while back, could you tell me why you rejected
the patches?

Something fundamentally wrong with them, optimisations that "normal
people" don't care about, etc.?
