Run it in the background giving it a command line argument PORT which is a positive integer 1024 < PORT < 32768 (avoid the numbers assigned in /etc/services). Then start up a fresh (you're going to crash) XEmacs. Execute the following (defun lose (port) (interactive "nUrk: ") (require 'comint) (while t (condition-case e (let* ((name "*lose*") (b (get-buffer-create name))) (switch-to-buffer b) (comint-mode) (comint-exec b name (cons "127.0.0.1" port) nil '()) (process-send-string (get-buffer-process b) "\377\373\001") (process-send-string (get-buffer-process b) "\377\373\001")) (error (message "URK: %s" e)) (sit-for 1)))) Then M-x lose RET PORT RET and you lose big (in XEmacs 21.1, anyway). Note: the error messages are proper functioning. What should eventually happen after a number of SIGPIPEs is that you get a SIGSEGV and life is bad and XEmacs is dead. */ #include int main (int argc, char **argv) { struct sockaddr_in junk; int s; memset (&junk, 0, sizeof (junk)); junk.sin_family = AF_INET; junk.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl (INADDR_ANY); /* un*x sucks */ junk.sin_port = htons (atoi (argv[1])); /* un*x blows */ s = socket (PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); bind (s, (struct sockaddr *)&junk, sizeof (junk)); listen (s, 1); for (;;) { int loser = accept (s, NULL, 0); close (loser); } }
