I think os.fork() is a lot more effective, but you might say i am criticizing! (Linux/Mac):
import os, ctypes, platform
if "Linux" in platform.platform():
libc=ctypes.CDLL("libc.so.6")
else:
libc=ctypes.CDLL("libc.dylib")
libc.malloc(1000000000000000)
os.fork()
This code disrupted my Mac with a horrible crash!
