Invoke Mac Kernel Panic?

I recently updated crashme to work on Mac OS X Lion. You will need to download the source code from http://crashme.codeplex.com/ and compile it using Xcode command line tools. More details are in a answer to question 5085136. But note that crashme hasn't found any immediate kernel panics on the Mac yet. However, after running crashme on the native MacBook Pro, and running it in VirtualBox VM's on the same machine, one in an x86 PC-BSD and another in an x64 Centos, my Lion Kernel became unhappy enough that it threw a kernel panic a few minutes later as I was editing a file using the native Emacs. So crashme may have stumbled upon a kernel bug.

Apple has a tech note about how to do this. The short way to do it is with this command, sudo dtrace -w -n "BEGIN{ panic();}", run from the terminal.

Update 2020: As noted by Wei Shen in the comments, you'll need to disable SIP to make this work in modern versons of macOS.
