Brian,

Crashme was written by George Carrette. Info and source can be had at :

http://people.delphi.com/gjc/crashme.html

In essence, it creates a random data stream and tells the system to try
and execute it. Like the mythical infinite number of monkeys, it will
occasionally generate stuff that will trigger system failures.
