I once tried this.  When my friends tripped across it they reacted like
this:

	while (1)
		ls
	end

and ran it in the background.  I had things set up to mail me the 
notification of who I'd tripped.  The above loop made sendmail so
upset that the machine crashed.  (at least the machine crashed a
few minutes afterwards... causality was never really established
and I never bothered to reproduce the crash.)
