The idea isn't exactly new.  RISC chips seem particularly vulnerable
to this sort of thing.   Take a look at
"http://people.delphi.com/gjc/crashme.html";  It's been around since
the early 90s.  It genrates random code and then try to run it.  I've
seen it crash Sparcs and MIPS proccessor quite effectively.
