RHBOMB
------------
The time-share at the Labs, never mind which Labs, kept going down. Mischief
was suspected. Mischief was verified: a program called RHBOMB, submitted by a
certain programmer with the initials R.H., was responsible, and turned out always
to be present when the terminals printed TSS HAS GONE DOWN. It was
verified by the systems people that the program called RHBOMB was in fact a
bomb program, with no other purpose than to take down the time-sharing system.
R.H. was spoken to sternly and it did not happen again.
However, some months later snoopy a systems programmer noted that a file call RHBOMB had been stored on
disk. Rather than have R.H. scalped prematurely, he would check the contents.
He sat down at the terminal and typed in the command, PRINT RHBOMB. But before
he could see the contents, the terminal typed instead
TSS HAS GONE DOWN
But this was incredible! A program so virulent that if you just tried to
read its contents, without running it, still bombed the system! The systems
man rushed from the room to see what had gone wrong.
He did so prematurely, The contents of the file was simply
TSS HAS GONE DOWN
followed by thousands of null codes, which were silently being fed to the
Teletype, 10 per second, preventing it from signaling that it was ready for
the next thing.
