Hello,
Did You start start program via screen -m -d -s ~/kaboom ? This is
important here.
And I want ask You, how you can stop screen -m -d -s ~/kaboom via
ctrl+c ? It's impossible with that bomb. (number of PIDs is going to
infinity, you can't find that one 'root pid', which will kill all
children).
Regards...

Hello,
I've the question, to the bug report:
[2]http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=121949 .
Is there any limit, (which I didn't wrote in PR), which can stop gives
memory for user (not root) in fBSD ?
Can't help you much here because I can't reproduce the problem. I compiled
your program and ran it and I was still able to use the system just fine
as it was scrolling numbers past. I was also able to CTRL-C the program
from the terminal and it stopped without any problems. Nor did I see
any unusual memory usage.
