Comment 105 for bug 159356

Further, to my comment above, if I enable swap, the program continues to run using up all the swap, and then terminates without a system freeze. The program pauses for about 1/3 second intervals as swap gets used. The higher vm.min_free_kbytes the pauses are less. I have a third memory eater and I managed to get up to 66 Gb virtual memory allocated. My old laptop (9 years) has only 2Gb Ram.
