SOFTWARE.

A signal handler is set up so that in most cases the machine exception
generated by the illegal instructions, bad operands, etc in the procedure
made up of random data are caught; and another round of randomness may
be tried. Eventually a random instruction may corrupt the program or
the machine state in such a way that the program must halt. This is
a test of the robustness of the hardware/software for instruction
fault handling.

Note: Running this program just a few times, using total CPU time of
less than a few seconds SHOULD NOT GIVE YOU ANY CONFIDENCE in system
robustness. Having it run for hours, with tens of thousands of cases
would be a different thing. It would also make sense to run this
stress test at the same time you run other tests, like a multi-user
benchmark.

Version Date         Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 1.0    early 1990   initial hack.
 1.1    19-SEP-1990  added more signals and an alarm to abort looping.
 1.2    25-JUN-1991  added [nsub] to vfork multiple subprocesses of self.
 1.3    14-AUG-1991  +nbytes malloc option, and -nsub option.
 1.4    29-AUG-1991  fix +nbytes (subproc). Add time-driven nprocs. SIGINT.
 1.5     3-SEP-1991  added alarm subprocess monitor to vfork_main.
 1.6     5-SEP-1991  some systems don't have vfork, so use fork by default.
 1.7    25-SEP-1991  verboseness level, exit summary report.
 1.8      -SEP-1991  address page protection issues on badboy.
 1.9     6-AUG-1993  DECC(VMS)/WIN32/NT/Posix, #ifdef some SIGxxx.
 2.0     7-SEP-1993  More extensive WIN32 conditionalization. record_note.
 2.1     6-MAY-1994  Added "dot" syntax to NBYTES. Modularized castaway.
 2.2     9-MAY-1994  __ALPHA && VMS version is now more interesting.
 2.3    11-MAY-1994  Added _IBMRT2 and _POWER code.
 2.4    20-MAY-1994  Added __hpux. Linux from jik@cam.ov.com.

Suggested test: At least let the thing run the length of your lunch break,
in this case 1 hour, 10 minutes, and 30 seconds.

  crashme +2000 666 100 1:10:30 2

Also, it may spend more time trapping and less time computing random bytes
by using these arguments:

Notes: Crashme V1.0 {1000 20 200} used to down the SUN 4/110. V1.2 does *not*
crash SUNOS 4.1.1 on the same arguments. Although using the extra argument
for subprocesses it will crash, with the console reporting:
"Bad Trap, Bad Kernel Read Fault, Bus error. Reboot" 

Script means invoking file with many calls to crashme such as this:
#/bin/csh
crashme 1020 234 500 &
crashme 394 38484 5723 &
crashme 3784 474 474 &
crashme 437 4747 38 &
crashme 47848 4745 123 &
crashme 4747 4747 3463 &
crashme 474 46464 262 &
crashme 37 3644 3723 &
crashme 374 46464 22 &
crashme 3747 464 363 &
crashme 347 4747 44 &
crashme 37374 374 66 &
crashme 3737 474 4444 &

The 4-argument case of crashme could likely do as well as executing
a script.
