Hello.

> Limits can be configured in login.conf for example, else the system will slowly die out of resource exhaustion.

It sounds like you haven't tried to reproduce the bug. Actually it has
*nothing* to do with resource exhaustion and "slowly dying". Your
system will die before you can say "knife". Most probably it will
happen during the first call to escript.erl, but there is a chance
you'll need to run it a few times (2-3). So to automate it, I've
written loop.sh.

It isn't necessary to use loop.sh. Just run escript.erl (which doesn't
contain any memory/CPU consuming calls).

Just try it.
