Re: Memory leak in Solaris 2.7 kernel?

[Jason Storm <sec () ORGONE NEGATION NET>]

uhnnnn... where exactly is the memory leak in the kernel?  all i see is my
tcsh session chewing up the cpu.

further more;

sparc:~>  ls
../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*
/usr/ucb/ls: Arg list too long.
sparc:~> uname -a
SunOS sparc 5.7 Generic_106541-02 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-LX
sparc:~>

not only is this not a kernel memory leak, its not even a dos unless you
do it as root, in which case you should certainly be able to find more
efficient and creative ways of bringing the box down.
