Can bad script Crash server?

I start believing the problem is on my end. No matter what machine I use, the server is always rebooted or NIC is dead on me.

I don't have any fishy PHP or mySQL running. Only some basic HTTP Perl. CPU usage never got more than 50%. Memory usage never got more than 30%.

No virus or chootkit. Perfectly clean.

So with CPU hog and Memory eater, how could a perl script constantly crash servers?

I start thinking maybe UNICODE or bad parsed text messed up perl. But should that problem give warning or only crash 1 per instance?

Is there any way to dubug the problem I have for the last 2 months?
