Stress is a stress testing program, however *anything* that fills up 
physical memory and needs swap causes the problem for me (I'm a java 
developer so my IDE and a few other programs can do that).

You may have memhog installed, if you have say 2GB memory then try 
memhog 2g and it will begin filling up memory, that should do it.

Cheers,
Peter.
