Perhaps it would be useful to have some standard Swarm monitors for
fishtank experiments that could look for these stupid critters and
destroy them.  The monitors could keep a list of schedule trace
patterns and destory all those of low complexity (using priviledges).

Or perhaps it would be nicer/more-elegant to add smart predators to
the system that would attempt to manipulate their immediate
environment in such a way that resource-eating stupid critters would
be eaten.
