How do you make your UNIX crash ???

Someone talked about a 3 line script to crash a unix box here (but I can't
find that message.)  

Anyway, what the script was:

while (1) do
   mkdir 1; cd 1
end

Minus some shell syntax.  this is it.  However, on newer OS's this won't
work.  I think it has a minfree on the inodes as well, or some thing like
that.
