I found something called "crashme 0.8" in alt.sources, compiled it, and am
running 50 copies of it...  it seems to be doing a nice job of raising my
load average slowly (now about 7.00)..

I do not understand how it could crash me though since I am already crashed
this morning.  :-)

Is this supposed to do something interesting?  Maybe I need to run more of
them.  I should run this on a non GENERIC kernel...

Oh.  There's a core file...  hmmm

Well I am going to reboot and see if I can run 100 copies, maybe it will
do something creative.

Ahhhh maxprox=2067, :-).  Let's jam.

OOoooo, cool!  Load spike!  :-)
