Basically you are saying when the OS is almost out of memory, there is a potential problems when a memory allocation is attempted.
This is not an indication of a general level of memory manager bugs, but a very specific and narrow focus problem.
If you have discovered a problem and you are trying to lobby to get it fixed, then you need to be very specific when repeating the problem. It is totally counter-productive to claim the whole memory manager is buggy.

Well, at least a few other people seem to agree - among them very respected names, see e.g. the thread http://escribe.com/computing/pcpqa/m75735.html.
