Does this count?  Back when I was still cutting my teeth on this *nix
stuff, I wrote a piece of code (under Coherent 386, no less) that would
fork, then detatch, kill the parent...  ie cycle through the PID's
reeeeealy fast.  Couldn't be killed by hand, anyways, though a special
hunt-kill piece of code could probably do it...
