Package: source Version: 1.2.13 To reproduce: do lots of things that need lots of swap, when you haven't got enough.
Effect: system locks up totally, with only an insignificant amount of disk activity. Thrashing badly I could understand (but wouldn't like). Randomly killing processes I could understand, and might at least allow *some* of the system to come down cleanly. As it is, you have to hit the reset switch. This is a known problem with Linux in general. I just thought I'd report it here as we're supposed to be able to have the package maintainer chase up the upstream maintainer - linux-kernel in this case. Usually discussions of this on linux-kernel produce heat but no light. Ian.
