I'm doing some experiments with it (the crash is reproducible on my
486DX/4 + 8M ED-RAM + 12M swap), but not too intensively as I'm preparing
for some exams. It seems it is not a real crash, but only an immense
slowdown (25 seconds per single call to try_to_free_page -- very strange
and happens especially if I try to strace the offending process. Hopefully
I'll find the real cause soon...
