The problem are the tests there. I recently compiled a newer version of git 
for my linux box because it was getting quite old. It took only a few seconds 
to compile the source, then several minutes  to generate the documentation, 
and then several hours (literally) to run the testsuite. I have no idea how 
long it takes to run the testsuite on Aranym...

If you mean by "take down" that Aranym hangs, thats alltogether possible. TOS 
does not verify input parameters for system functions in most of the cases, if 
you do e.g. a Fread() to some bogus memory location, then Aranym will happily 
try to write to it. That can easily crash TOS, and Aranym can not much do 
about this. It should not crash itself, however.
