I'm not sure if this is a known problem, but today I noted that at
least one of my -stable systems panics when a process try to alocate
too much memory.  I've made a program to print the ammount of memory
alocated and initialized (calloc) while it's alocating.  In that
machine, with 40M RAM (25 M free before running this program, as told
by top) and 64M swap, the system panics with page fault while in kernel
running pagedaemon, after alocating about 50M.

Has somebody else seen this ?

I know that I can reserve more space to swap to aleviate the problem,
that's not the question here.
