more to the point, it happened twice.
        once when I was running 2.3.41 smp
        it was mozilla's (m13?) fault that it ate whole ram,
        it killed X only.

        the other time it happened was today
        it was kernel 2.3.47 smp
        it was netscape when I as testing s "stress" page
                (http://www.wam.umd.edu/~soref/stress.html)
        it killed sendmail,emacs and klogd few times..

the box has 128mb ram and 128mb swap.

any idea what's going on?
