1995/schnitzi - Best one liner

Find divisors: where a core dump is a feature and not a bug

Author:

To build:

    make all

To use:

    ./schnitzi num

WARNING: the author warns to not use too high a number (with the same effect as a fork bomb)! If you wish to ignore the warning it is an exercise to determine how high is too high. :-)

Try:

    ./try.sh

Judges’ remarks:

Sometimes a core dump is a feature, not a bug!

This is one of the better one-liners we have seen in a while. Take some time to figure out what it does before you run it!

Author’s remarks:

Beware, running this program with too high of a number amounts to doing a fork bomb on your machine!
