If this keeps up, we're soon going to have "Life" games in which C
programs are the cells. Each one dropping little copies of itself all over
memory until they take over the whole system. Mutants will spawn FORTRAN
and Pascal and Modula-2 and (god forbid) Ada programs that go thru several
half-lives until they return to normalcy. "Queen bee" programs will also
start cc's in the background and the whole system will quickly grind to a
halt, unless a oscillating, semi-stable pattern is reached.
