I ran it on a scrap box today, as I said it only runs under one process ID
and after a slow second ssh to the box i killed that session and it calmed
down.  Load was at about 20 when i killed it after about 30 seconds.

If i had left it any longer, ssh attempts would have timed out under the
load and it would be game up.

The initiating remote terminal was flooded with fork errors whenever you
pressed a key, but new sessions responded normally, just slow.
