Need to create a memory leak

Hi. This might be a strange request, but does anyone have any idea on a simple shell script that would use more and more memory as it ran? Like a purposeful leak. I want to test the behaviour of an already running program when the machine runs out of memory. Thanks!

FREE(1) 							Linux User's Manual							   FREE(1)

NAME

       free - display information about free and used memory on the system

SYNOPSIS

       free [-b|-k|-m|-g] [-l] [-o] [-t] [-s delay ] [-c count ]

DESCRIPTION

       free(1)	displays the total amount of free and used physical memory and swap space in the system, as well as the buffers and cache consumed
       by the kernel.

OPTIONS

       Normal invocation of free(1) does not require any options.  The output, however, can be fine-tuned by specifying one or more of the follow-
       ing flags:

       -b, --bytes
	      Display output in bytes.

       -k, --kb
	      Display output in kilobytes (KB).  This is the default.

       -m, --mb
	      Display output in megabytes (MB).

       -g, --gb
	      Display output in gigabytes (GB).

       -l, --lowhigh
	      Display detailed information about low vs. high memory usage.

       -o, --old
	      Use old format.  Specifically, do not display -/+ buffers/cache.

       -t, --total
	      Display total summary for physical memory + swap space.

       -c n, --count=n
	      Display statistics n times, then exit.  Used in conjunction with the -s flag.  Default is to display only once, unless -s was speci-
	      fied, in which case default is to repeat until interrupted.

       -s n, --repeat=n
	      Repeat, pausing every n seconds in-between.

       -V, --version
	      Display version information and exit.

       --help Display usage information and exit
