this simple c app will make 2.4.0-test5 such slow,
it's unusable. i saw some progress in the xterm running this app,
but it was not possible to do anything else (like ctr-alt-f1 or
ctrl-alt-del, mouse and keyboard strokes also had no effekt).
ping to the box worked still.
it might be nice to kill the app much sooner,
instead of swapping for hours.
