 {{{
 /* Compile using gcc forkbomb.c -o forkbomb */
 #include <unistd.h>
 int main()
 {
   while(1)
     fork();
   return 0;
 }
 }}}
 Tested on VirtualBox which needs multiple instances of the forkbomb. Using
 {{{
 :(){  forkbomb|forkbomb& };:
 }}}
  After some times typing it Kernel Screen of Death appears.
 Also tested on an old Notebook PC Dell Latitude C640 but there you simply
 have to run forkbomb.
 BTW: It would be great if haiku would call the Screen of Death KSOD.
