Attached is an incorrect solution to a classroom problem which reliably crashes (more later) every linux machine that I've tried it on. crash = machine becomes unresponsive to user input, no external network connections are successful (can't connect to ssh, apache etc) but no information is placed in the log. The program is otherwise harmless so I encourage you to try it yourself :-) Compile with:
gcc -o fibFork fibFork.c -lpthread
Run it with:
./fibFork t 30
Here is as much info as I could think to provide (as I said, I've "crashed" several machines with this but here is one config):
RedHat 9 "server" install Intel P3 800MHz uname -a: Linux shaffer2.cs.westminster.edu 2.4.20-20.9 #1 Mon Aug 18 11:45:58 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux glibc-2.3.2-27.9 gcc-3.2.2-5
I would be happy to provide more information but I'm hoping that you'll be able to reproduce the problem.
