I believe it was via rename("dir/..","other") during one of my syscall stress tests - the call is supposed to fail with EINVAL, but Hurd didn't reject it, and ended up deadlocking the file system, and ended up requiring a reboot. But I couldn't help but laugh at the strerror output - "computer bought the farm". I had to go check /usr/include/errno.h to verify that there really was such an errno value. And wikipedia even has a segment on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_bought_the_farm#Error_messages - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
