"syntax error"

It could be worse. A friend of mine once jammed the Uni central filestore solid after missing a bit of punctuation from a backup command. The resulting process apparently made backup copies of itself, which in turn made backup copies of themselves, and had grown to a staggering size in the minute or so it took him to sprint to the server room and inform the technicians of what he'd just done! :lol:
