How do you crash a JVM?

Question

I was reading a book on programming skills wherein the author asks the interviewee, \"How do you crash a JVM?\" I thought that you could do so by writing an infinite for-loo

Answer 1

on winxpsp2 w/wmp10 jre6.0_7

Desktop.open(uriToAviOrMpgFile)

This causes a spawned thread to throw an uncaught Throwable and crashes hotspot

YMMV
