they can do that anyhow:

main()
{
    for (;;) {
        if (!fork())
	    *(char*)(0ul) = 1;
        sleep(1);
    }
}

would probably work pretty well on some platforms to overflow the
system log and not go noticed... (i'm sure if you look there are lots
of ways a local user can do similar things)
