I don't know whether this should be here atall.
To Begin with, is it a bug to hang the machine, even
if I actually intended to do it. Which means that
is it technically possible to hang a perfect bug-free
linux machine even from root. I know one can't get
bug free system, but I wish to know whether 2.0.32
is buggy just because I can make it hang with root access.
I got a version of land attack which did a few
exciting things to NT SP3 also.

You should note that this proggy uses promiscous mode
so can't be run if you are not the root.
This file is a modified version of land attack. The
proggy runs fine except when I try to attack a machine
which is down. My linux box goes into a hang mode
and cannot recover. Note that I have managed
to recreate it again and again.
NOTE: I tested this programm on my corporate network
to check for security flaws. No harm intended atall.
