Well, for one thing, that won't segfault on Win32. Not on my Win2K box with Activestate's build 628 of 5.6.1, anyway.	[reply]

Hmm... good syscall :) I entirely forgot about that, but since it doesn't crash Windows, you do get a two stroke penalty. I think Juerd's will be difficult to beat. MeowChow s aamecha.s a..a\u$&owag.print	[reply]

Won't work where SIGSEGV isn't 11. (You could do tricks with %SIG, but that would up the stroke-count.) We are using here a powerful strategy of synthesis: wishful thinking. -- The Wizard Book	[reply]

`kill 11,0` is shorter. You could cut down one more character by making it `kill 7,0` (a bus error), but that signal number is not as portable to other architectures as 11 (segfault).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
