That sounds horribly non-deterministic. What if you have 256mb of ram, and no pagefile, and you fill it up till you have 1mb headroom spare?
It is Erlang, it is not meant to be run on 256Mb RAM ;) It kind of solves the issue of response latency for GC-enabled software on powerful enterprise servers. Because with stop-the-world GC you can't do it, does not matter how powerful your hardware is.
Does not help game dev and small-scale embedded though, that for sure ;)
