Any user, priviledge or non-privilage can reset the machine if they run a
perl script
that has no faults on it, or trys to make a c program from source the
machine
sometimes RESETS!!!!!!

That should not happen at all!!!

I am running freebsd 2.1.6 on a P166 using perl 5.0003 for perl scripts
(although it happens also with making C programs).
