Comment (by kallisti5):
Those are good points.
If expected behavior is to kill the process attempting to malloc more
memory then whats available... shouldn't the system remain stable?
In the example above, It looks as though the failed malloc was
incompletely subtracted from available memory. I could no longer open new
processes... even though the memory usage is low as per the memory bar in
the top right side of the screenshot.
I also noticed jam was still running, even though the terminal was locked
up. Once I forcibly killed jam (which didn't effect free memory) the
system still wouldn't spawn new processes.
