Yes it does, I'm sure yours will die too unless you have nproc cap either at the level of shell or PAM.
What's your kernel version, shell you're using, current ulimit settings. And, do you have the code of the fork bomb you ran? I'd really like to take a look at it. Thanks.
Just tested again fork bombing the machine I've described (above) by running this simple bash shell forkbomb g8:~ # :(){ :|:& };: and within a couple of seconds it immediately came to a grinding halt. No limits were configured. -- Warm regards, Michael Green
