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!

VALKYRIE(1)						      General Commands Manual						       VALKYRIE(1)

NAME

       valkyrie - graphical front-end to the Valgrind suite of tools for debugging and profiling Linux executables

SYNOPSIS

       valkyrie [valkyrie-opts] [valgrind-opts] [prog-and-args]

DESCRIPTION

       Valkyrie  is  a	graphical front-end to the Valgrind suite of tools for debugging and profiling Linux executables. The current version sup-
       ports Valgrind from version 3.4.0. Currently, the only supported Valgrind tool is Memcheck.  Valkyrie  uses  the  Qt  widget  library,  and
       should  run  on	most  reasonably recent Linux setups. The only sine qua non is that you must have: Qt v.3.2.0 or higher (but not Qt v.4 as
       yet), and Valgrind v.3.4.0 or higher.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below. For more help please see HTML documentation.
