Yes but I for example have had this issue since 2.1-R (when I started
using it), freezing when the system trashes, without hope for resolve,
or other short-on-memory related ailments. The fact that it's still
on-topic in mailing lists after many years shows that the issue hasn't
really been resolved yet. You'll see postings like the above in 5 or
even 10 years still if a proper solution won't be found and implemented
until then.
