At the moment, (2.1.98), I can lock my 64 MB machine up with a 'make
MAKE='make -j20' zImage'.
At the time of memory death:
* It has 4 megabytes of free pages.
* It has 6 megabytes of buffer memory.
* But it dies because it has 0 swap left.
Those hard limits on memory how much memory to not grab should definitely
go.
