As an accident I found a nice "feature" to crash my system.

Just by doing a following:

mkdir ~/.systrace
dd if=/dev/urandom of=~/.systrace/bin_ls bs=500 count=1
systrace ls

will do it. I'm running

NetBSD txpo 1.6J NetBSD 1.6J (GENERIC.MP) #0: Mon Oct 28 00:12:10 EET 2002

Can someone test this also so it's not only in my system?
