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. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
