Certain machines seemed vulnerable to it, while others showed no side
effects. It was probably run 50 times on the webserver with no known side
effects prior to the fatal incident. All it did was recursively put
sequences inside each other. On most machines it just ran out of memory
and quit.

Well I guess if you destroy a virus you reduce the chances of finding a
cure, but I zapped it anyway.
