This is similar for the Bay networks/Xylogics Micro Annex ELS, Annex 2000, and 4000 series and probably a lot more. Running proff's 'strobe' on a bay/xylogics annex will result in instant hanging of the annex, leave it go for 30 seconds, then come back to the annex and you'll see load averages near the 100% mark. For the duration of the strobe the device is rendered unusable.
