[out of memory -> crash]

I might be completely off target, but I seem to remember that Linux
actually starts killing off random processes once it runs out of space,
which would explain the behaviour you described. I think it came up in a
Linux vs. *BSD vs NT dicussion ages ago, so even if I do remember it
correctly it might have changed in the meantime.

Ciao,
