New submission from masterid:

os.system won't run any command and there is no error message when memory 
cannot be allocated.

It looks like Python is running a command but actually nothing happens.

I used subprocess.Popen instead and found out that
OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory

I also tried gc.collect() to release memory, but it does not work.
