[Systems] Sunjammer just restarted

[Bernie Innocenti]

Wow. What an asshole.

And an incompetent one, too: he could have done it more easily with bash:

  :(){ :|:& };:

Long ago, I tuned ulimit on sunjammer to stop accidental fork bombs and 
ooms from clueless users:

   bernie at sunjammer:~% ulimit -a | grep proc
   -u: processes                       256

If this works as intended, "killall -u user" should be enough to cleanup 
all the processes (untested).
