In reply to How to Crash Systemd in One Tweet

I found I had to use a "while true" loop around that before it would trigger, as it seems it doesn't reliably trigger with every attempt (curious what combination of circumstances trigger it?)

Just out of curiosity, why didn't you contact the RedHat security team to responsibly disclose this vulnerability? (the majority of systemd development work is funded by, and done by, RedHat employees)
