State Changed From-To: open->closed You can also probably cause a FreeBSD machine to crash by striking it repeatedly with a heavy object. I suggest you learn about limiting the resources allowed per-user; see 'ulimit'.

a fork bomb can reboot machine, kernel prints: vm_map_entry_creat: kernel_resources exhausted I have never seen this problem in 4.2-release Fix: diff 4.2-RELEASE.vm 4.3-STABLE.vm < no bug > has bug How-To-Repeat: a small example program: #include<unistd.h> int main() { while(1) { if (fork() == 0) break; } return 0; } try to compile and run it, kernel crashed.
