I have tested this on Solaris2.5 x86, it made the machine drop off the
network, but not halt or reboot.
Solaris 2.5.1 for Sparc doesn't die, it just keeps running. (Whew!), I
also tested SunOS 4.1.4, that keeps going too.
Hopefully this problem is not as widespread as other bugs (Such as
syslog, etc).
