Hi,
It seems very similar to my case, where it is very easy to
completely trash the computer in 30 seconds.
Conf: core2 cpu, 2gb memory, 2gb swap, 64-bit os.
Software: latest stable xorg, firefox2, latest gnash (all from gutsy)
Go to site http://www.epl.ee/ and almost immeditately you loose

I can't see any easy hacks or workarounds to fix the issue in the
current MM, except maybe

For specific applications you can set resource limits, you can also set
OOM
I've got a problem I keep running into. My computers have buggy software
which can sometimes run out of control. Two specific examples:
Evolution: Sometimes its memory usage decides to suddenly grow out of
control. It usually idles at around 300MB, you can watch it in top,
doubling, trebling and

I'm seriously tempted to add a kill the process using the most memory
key combination into SysRq which might let me save the desktop but won't
help with my remote server. I could also just disable swap I guess.
