Thanks for confirming. What I don't understand is why the kernel doesn't terminate the process consuming all memory, instead everything freezes and i have to reboot. To me, this is perhaps a regression of some type in the kernel. I seem to remember in times past, the kernel would kill processes consuming too much memory. I learnt that in linux every process is strictly "caged", so to speak, and one process hanging would not hang the hole system. I mean, it is unacceptable linux is behaving this way.
