The message <URL:http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=108681568931323&w=2> on linux-kernel report that a simple C program available from <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15905> is able to hang the kernel hard.
I tested the program on a machine running the kernel from the debian archive, and it was able to hang the machine completely.
