Description of Problem:

Same ol' VM tuning problem. System ran out of memory before process was killed
and it was not the offending process after all :-(

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.4.18-3

How Reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. save the attached file
2. turn off swap file (it should happen with swap file as well, but better that
way)
3. make sure you have unlimited virtual memory using ulimit -a
4. run Netscape Navigator 4.7x
5. turn off "Automatically load images" option in Edit/Preferences/Advanced
6. open previously saved file
7. wait couple of minutes (depends on how much RAM you have)

Actual Results:

The system ran out of memory and become virtually unresponsive for a six
minutes, then X server was killed.

Expected Results:

Well, at least it should not kill X server instead of Netscape Navigator. And it
would be nice if it did it before it ran out of memory.

Additional Information:
	
Imagine that some important process is running under X and someone launched
Netscape and opened some unfortunate Web page. You would get a DoS situation and
ultimately your important process would get killed. In this particular case
Netscape Navigator was the only process that actively consumed memory and it was
the process with largest pool of memory allocated. Of course that could be
avoided by setting ulimit -v, but it's really not necessary here.
