I can repeatably crash two (nearly) stock Debian 1.3 systems using one or more scripts, such as find /usr |xargs grep some-arbitrary-string looping with some background activity to use up CPU cycles. The systems seem stable, otherwise. Only common hardware are ultra-SCSI disks and controllers (AHA-2940). Any ideas?
