Lukas Lueg added the comment: I very strongly doubt that it actually crashes your kernel - it basically can't. Your desktop becomes unresponsive for up to several minutes as the kernel has paged out about every single bit of memory to disk, raising access times by several orders of magnitude. Disable your swap and try again, it will just die.
