Lots of fork and exec. I am running two large java processes (200Mb each)
from within shell scripts in a bash shell. They also pump out a lot of
output. The whole machine freezes midway through the run. The cursor still
works though so I would guess that either all the CPU is taken or all the
memory. My machine has 1Gb of virtual memory.
