     If I really want to crash a program on any machine, I just
do a division by zero.

     Of course, the question remains: why do you want a guru?
We multitasking enthusiasts would get rather upset if you took
out not only your own program but everything else on the system.
A nasty message followed by termination would be much nicer.  If
you really want to get someone's attention, a requester would do
the job quite nicely.

     Consider this a philosophical question.  Forcing a guru for
an incorrect response sounds like an awfully severe punishment.
