Well, my woody box began to swap like crazy, and response to keyboard and mouse was too slow, but I still managed to issue a kill command. Some *minutes* later, the box was ok again. I don't know what killed the process - could be the kill command, or it could be the kernel (because it ws running out of swap space: I have 256 Mb available swap space, and 220 were being used!) The shell from which I had called yes was also killed. What kernel are you using? How much RAM? I'm using 2.4.0-test10-pre5, with 64 Mb RAM and 256 swap.
