fallback-reboot is a last resort, when you need to remotely reboot a computer.

It attempts to maximize its ability to get the job done by completely avoiding touching the hard disk; it opens no files, and it locks itself into memory to avoid swapping/paging.

It also does not fork or exec. fallback-reboot includes optional cryptography.

What's New in This Release:
gen-pas uses the python random module now, not whrandom, which is deprecated.
Compilation prefers tcc -b if available, because that will do buffer overflow checking (although there are probably none in the code).
This release builds against /usr/sfw's OpenSSL on Solaris 10.
Tested on AIX 5.1 ML 4.
