Force my service to 'crash'

dotnet myservices:

I need to be able to cause my vb.net windows service to crash and terminate
'illegally'.

I have my service set to restart 3 time if it stops. This hasn't been
happening. I have a theory about why it isn't starting again (I get a
timeout error, I am connecting to a clients web-service for db access).

I can't test to see if I have fixed the problem unless I can cause the
service to stop 'illegally'. If I just stop it of course the server won't
try to re-start it. I need to be able to crash it so that it will re-start
and I can prove it worked. I figured if there is some code that will make it
past the compiler that will not just cause an error, but an actual stopping
of the service I could then prove I was right (or not).

Anyone know of some code that could cause the service to stop, but which the
compiler would let past?

Thanks.

Have a function which just keeps on calling itself until you blow the stack?
