You're absolutely right. However, I have no such goal. I just wanted to find out how it could be dangerous.

You reminded me of an old incident. Back in the days of telephone communication, a one system began to crash poll me. At the end I put on hold an zip archive with a name like 0d0afa07.sa0, inside which a file named clock$ was archived. More calls from this system have not been received.
