Novell Netware bug

[Dan_Thorson () notes seagate com (Dan Thorson)]

I don't know if anybody cares about Novell Netware bugs in this list, but I
thought I'd post it just in case.
 
We've discovered (inadvertantly) a denial-of-service bug in the printserver
mechanism.  If an application attempts to print an extremely large file, the
SYS volume will overflow, and crash the file server.  I believe that the
following would do it, but I have not tried....
 
void main(void)
{
    while (1==1)
        printf("a");
}
compile and run this with the output redirected to LPTx: which has been
captured to a network printer.
 
If this msg doesn't belong on bugtrack, please don't flame me, just ignore it,
OK?
