Just as a note, given some of the comments in this thread: I'm a major 
Linux fan, but honestly, the same thing happens under Linux when an app 
consumes monstrous amounts of memory -- it doesn't bring the whole 
system to a halt, but it does bring X pretty much to its knees, which is 
almost the same thing to most people these days.
