I had the same problem with firefox on linux. 4gb of ram. The memory would be very full, then firefox would just crash suddenly.
Eventually I discovered filesystem corruption. Running memtest showed that a bit or two of ram got stuck. That was causing the crashes... I ereplaced the ram and they stopped. If the quality of individual bits doesn't improve, as memories get larger the chances of such failures gets higher.
