This brought my whole server to it's knees. It basically ate all the resources it could find
and filled up all the swap space until the kernel went "erk".
I haven't done much research but I'm aware that there are ways of detecting this kind of
script.
Maybe this isn't really a bug, but it's something worth thinking about (or at least
documenting).
