Create a C program that is a fork bomb. The *original* parent must fork
2 processes:
A. An "X" program (xeyes, xclock, etc) - so you can watch it take over
the computer.
B. Itself (ie sort of like recursion) - to keep the process of creating
offspring alive.
RULES:
------
1. You must use fork() and one of the exe() variants.
2. You cannot use any loops! Using a loop negates this as a fork bomb and
will earn you very few points!
3. Your program must spawn dozens of children, grand children, great grand
children, etc to be a real fork bomb. Ie The screen must fill up with
the "X" programs.
REQUIREMENTS:
-------------
1. Your program must run on Linux Mint (Leonard 110/112).
2. Your full name must appear as a comment at the beginning of your
program.
3. Your source code must be named hw2-yourname.c or hw2-yourname.cpp
