I don't like insults. Or people who don't read what
I write but complain about it anyway.
I'll explain things once more. Slowly.
1) you create a tmpfs with a high limit, such that
(max size tmpfs) + (user memory) > ram + swap
2) you proceed to completely fill up ram and swap
3) now ram and swap is full and the computer has no
place to put new data
Apart from adding swap space on the fly or going to the
shop to buy you more memory (neither of which is implemented
in the current kernel) there is very little the kernel can
do.
As long as you don't try to use more resources than you
have you will be ok.

Rik
