Infinite loop and crash Linux via BASH command

[vcputtini]

In this site http://www.istf.com.br/vb/showthread.php?t=11153 (pt_BR)  
there is a command and an explanation of as this simple command : (){  
:|:& };: can crash the Linux completely.  It would be interesting you  
will correct this.


I don't know by this means (perhaps anybody here with bigger  
experiences to can explain us) this simple command creates a job in  
background and in loop that quickly consome all the processing.  I  
quizzed in my one suse 10 and really locked.
