Well, a reboot is not expected but it can certainly happen. If your
app is leaking file descriptors for example, given that there are no
limits for root, it will bring your system to a halt.

If selinux is not in use, root can write to /proc/kcore for example.
Do not run anything as root unless you are doing system administration. It's
as easy as that.
