Yes ... I think that should not be allowed (bring down the machine by a non-root user process). In Linux CPU_GROUPS/MEM_GROUPS can help, and the fair scheduler has improved the situation a bit from the old days where a fork bomb will bring the machine down. But limiting the # of spawned children is possible using not so complicated ad-hoc solutions, but I guess it depends on the specific problem. |
