Sorry I forgot the mailing list ^^ I was only answering to Dave Korn ....

Just a message to notice that you must be patient for my script & 
program test to crash .....
Previously I have waited for 1150 loops to see gcc crash. (And "rm" 
command failed 6 times 'only' ^^)

I'm still installing lot of programs on my virtual machine but the 
script doesn't want to fail :-(
grrrr I'll find it..........

My new script (with counters) :
#!/bin/sh

ok=0
fails=0
while gcc prog.c -o prog.exe ; do

  if ! rm prog.exe; then
    echo "** RM FAILS **"
    fails="$(( $fails + 1 ))"
  else
    ok="$(( $ok + 1 ))"
  fi;

  echo "ok $ok , fails $fails"

done;

echo "fails !"
