[Bug 675874] Re: system becomes unresponsive after briefly running out of memory

2010-11-16 Thread Peter Clifton
Once you've run out of memory and started hitting swap, the memory
previously used as cache for other running programs will be dropped, or
inactive pages paged out to disk.

This does make things very slow and unresponsive for a while, but the
system _should_ recover. Did your system recover eventually, or was it
unresponsive until you rebooted?

Can you reproduce the issue every time yuo try the calculation?

Yes, I did it again and it happened. After the program is closed there
is no hard drive activity and the system stays unresponsive for at least
5 minutes.
