I once pondered how to build an `unkillable' wabbit. Of course,
ultimately, there is no such thing. But I was trying to invent
something that would require a sledgehammer like dropping to ddb to
deal with. I've never actually tried any of the ideas out, but it
might be an amusing exercise on a scratch machine. In particular,
there has to be something to deal with the approach of hitting them
with SIGSTOP to make them stop forking so you can kill them....
