• 21:3321:33, 14 September 2012 diff hist −583‎ Fork bomb ‎ →‎Defusing: `.' will not try to execute the current directory, it will try to use bash's `source' synonym. You need to have a trailing slash for bash to reference the current directory instead. Either way, just alias : to override it the function.
