A few weeks ago, when I had too little physical memory for a while,
I found that my machine would start thrashing, and then Linux would
kill a large process. Fortunately that was IceCat, not Emacs.
A wizard told me it was indeed killing processes without warning,
but at that moment the thrashing process had no way to receive or
act on a warning.
