Assuming a Crusader with Aura of Chaos, a d2 weapon, and a way to ensure he got a 2 on damage each time did his 'infinite' damage to someone who simply wouldn't die, what happens?
Is this like the Unstoppable Force vs the Immovable Object?

Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future. Speaking of which: Don't even need TO for this. Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu]. Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

Nothing. Infinite damage is dealt. Individual cannot die due to damage. Moot point.

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.
Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY! They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.
Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.
Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time. I give you much fu. Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie. |

Yeah, the guy with Deathless Frenzy takes infinite damage, shrugs, decapitates the Crusader and then (barring outside interference) explodes a bit later.

So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.
In retrospect, much like Keanu Reeves.

Does getting a bucket stuck on his head count as "outside interference?" |

Or would he? If the crusader used a bashing weapon I think the barbarian would implode into a small black hole. |

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?
Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

Does getting a bucket stuck on his head count as "outside interference?" Yes, because he's too busy murderin' to remember he needs to drown himself in order to live. So somebody else'll have to do it. Yeah, the guy with Deathless Frenzy takes infinite damage, shrugs, decapitates the Crusader and then (barring outside interference) explodes a bit later.

Or rule that the infinite damage pounds/grinds/punctures/whatever the FB into dust and particles, killing him instantly anyhow. |

Well, there's always the 5% chance of Mr. FB rolling a natural one on his massive damage save.

Unless he took Steadfast Determination. Then he's not going to die until his frenzy ends. |

I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle. The book doesn't even exist! Quotes: By yes, she means no.
That explains so much about my life. hiicantcomeupwithacharacterthatisntaghostwhyisthatamijustretardedorsomething
Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea. If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit. See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere. |

Which is why I included them in the deathless frenzy I gave to baseline Barbs in my homebrew stuff. |

The infinite mass of shurikens lodged in the bezerker's body would eventually create a black hole, killing both.

Give the berserker Pain Mastery from Savage Species...now he has infinite strength for the retribution that is sure to follow the crusaders blitz of attacks.
