I can verify that one, tried it on my pentium 2 and it  froze the 
machine (i was NOT root then) . Had to SysRQ the box to get up again.

My machine is:
Dell Optiplek Gx1
350MhZ Pentium 2 Deschutes
190 MB Pc100 SDRAM
Gentoo Linux 1.4
GCC 3.2.3
Kernel: 2.6.0-test11 modified only with bootsplash patch
Preempt ENABLED
