Gotta keep those Kansas City (Kansas) machines humming -encript it.

Try this over night... It might pick up something.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#define LEN 0x1000000 /* Adjust to use most of your RAM */
/* But not swap too much */

int main()
{
unsigned short *ptr, *org;
size_t i;

if((ptr = malloc (LEN * sizeof(short))) != NULL)
{
org = ptr;
for(;;)
{
ptr = org;
for(i=0;i < LEN; i++)
*ptr++ = (unsigned short) i;
ptr = org;
for(i=0;i < LEN; i++)
*ptr++ ^= 0x5555;
ptr = org;
for(i=0;i < LEN; i++)
*ptr++ ^= 0xAAAA;
ptr = org;
for(i=0;i < LEN; i++)
*ptr++ ^= 0x55AA;
ptr = org;
for(i=0;i < LEN; i++)
*ptr++ ^= 0xAA55;

ptr = org;
for(i=0;i < LEN; i++)
*ptr++ ^= 0x5555;
ptr = org;
for(i=0;i < LEN; i++)
*ptr++ ^= 0xAAAA;
ptr = org;
for(i=0;i < LEN; i++)
*ptr++ ^= 0x55AA;
ptr = org;
for(i=0;i < LEN; i++)
*ptr++ ^= 0xAA55;
ptr = org;
for(i=0;i < LEN; i++)
if(*ptr++ != (unsigned short) i)
break;
fprintf(stdout, ".");
fflush(stdout);
}
fprintf(stderr, "Bad memory at virtual address %p\n", --ptr);
fprintf(stderr, "Sorry I don't know where it really is!\n");
free(ptr);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
else
{
fprintf(stderr,"Memory allocation failure\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
return /*@notreached@*/ EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Presidents take credit for good events during their
administration and other events are blamed upon their
predecessors. So Clinton can take credit for Viagra and the
problem with the girl and candy can be blamed upon Reagan
and his jelly beans.
