How do you handle while(1) fork(); ?

[Rahul Dhesi]

On BSD systems, at least, one way to recover from a "while(1) fork();"
situation is to log in as the offending user and execute my die/suicide
program, which in essence is:

   kill (-1, SIGTERM);	/* give each process a software termination signal */
   sleep (3);		/* and give it 3 seconds to clean up */
   kill (-1, SIGKILL);	/* then kill each process with extreme prejudice */
