Still a complete system freeze when low on virtual memory..

[Elmar Krieger]

Hi!

If I run a memory intensive application and accidentally start a second instance 
in a different window, the computer freezes completely and needs a hard-reset 
with Fedora 3.

In previous times, I could often at least kill the X-server and all applications 
with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, or even better just close the console where I started 
the program. But no luck anymore nowadays..

I really like Linux very much, so I can't imagine this is the way it's meant to 
be played...
Are there any configuration tricks that Google did not tell me?

Thanks for your help,
Elmar
