I read an article in one of IBM's technical bulletins where they started running
more and more copies of z/Linux under z/VM.  Somewhere past 10000 concurrently
running copies of z/Linux the machine finally cried enough.  Depending on what
hardware you are running on, you could do that easily.  That is unless you
started running Povray on all those copies.
