I remember something about a program named spoon. Seems to be a
hacker C program of some sort that eats up a systems resources.
Does anybody know the origin of this program? We've discovered
a couple of users with binary only and were wondering exactly
what it does. Source would be helpful, but not necessary. I'm
guessing it mallocs all available memory for a specified period
of time.  
 Was it this list?
