Subject:   out of swap space

There is a lot of historical chatter about the amount of swap space 
required.
But for my question, I haven't seen discussion:
What HAPPENS when the system flags "out of swap space".
Does a process die? or does the system merely become very sluggish?
I have dozens of "out of swap space" messages, but I cannot find any 
dead and/or failed jobs.
Thx
