  forkbomb is tool for stress testing. It can create many processes
  using fork(), bring up some zombies, allocate memory using
  realloc() and accesses this memory. It has different switches for
  fine-tuning operation. While classic fork() bomb is good only for
  fun and QA release testing, running multiple memory-eaters can be
  useful for determining maximum memory which can be given to
  servers (bind or squid) without taking machine down.  You can
  test different operation systems with this tool and see how they
  are handling the load.
