Just out of curiosity I tried it on my slackware 8.1 box

nimadeus@hera:~$ uname -a
Linux hera 2.4.18 #4 Fri May 31 01:25:31 PDT 2002 i686 unknown nimadeus@hera:~$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05a.0(1)-release (i386-slackware-linux-gnu) Copyright 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. nimadeus@hera:~$

after running `perl -e 'print "*/*" x 3500'` in bash it crashed too.
