bug#726: 23.0.60; OSX: Complete OS crash


From: Markus Triska
Subject: bug#726: 23.0.60; OSX: Complete OS crash

Let open7.el consist of the form:

   (let ((n 0))
     (while t
       (setq n (1+ n))
       (message "iteration: %s" n)
       (delete-process (start-process "bc" nil "bc"))))

When I do:

   $ emacs -Q --script open7.el

The whole OS crashes within about 500 iterations, and a gray box is
displayed stating that I must restart the computer. A shell script
that continuously starts and kills bc runs for long without problem:

   while true
   do
       bc &
       killall -9 bc
   done
