Quoth Daniel C. Sobral on Thu, 15 April:
: 
: FreeBSD executes ANSI C code reliably according to spec, as long as
: there is enough memory in the system. If there isn't, FreeBSD
: doesn't run reliably, much less executes any kind of code reliably.
: 
I understand this.  I concieve the purpose of this thread as being
a clear determination of the best known way to allow correctly 
written code to run reliably when, for reasons perhaps out of the
control of the application, memory becomes overcommitted.
