SunOS 4.1.3 falls over when you run crashme on all hardware I have, and within 5 minutes. I don't know about OS/MP 4.1C - that seems to have a reputation that its "What Solaris should have been".

Thats sort of what Dave Miller does - multiple crashme's and kernel make -j's. I've not crashed my IPC yet via load or malice and an 8MB IPC is fairly easily loaded ;)
