Excuse me ?

Why a crash dump because you CPU reaches 100% and you can't issue
commands because thge TCPIP processes that consume CPU have higher
priority than normal interactivce processes ?

There is no "crash" here, just piss poor implementation of TCPIP
Services which grants itself too high a priority and will bog down a system.

Once the attack is ended, the system returns to normal. Teling people to
 get a crash dump on VMS like that is like asking Windows users to ALT
CTRL DEL their system and re-install Windows because their ADSL modem is
not performing well.
