This isn't that large machine which has 16Gb ram, and I use default OpenBSD
limits which is:

  ~ $ ulimit -a
  time(cpu-seconds)    unlimited
  file(blocks)         unlimited
  coredump(blocks)     unlimited
  data(kbytes)         134217728
  stack(kbytes)        4096
  lockedmem(kbytes)    87381
  memory(kbytes)       15959444
  nofiles(descriptors) 512
  processes            256
  ~ $ 

thus, emacs instance which had crashed had run magit, markdown-mode and a
few other heavy things for couple of hours at least.

Additionally, I use 1Gb of RAM for /tmp, at time of crash it had run VM
which uses 5Gb, and over of it Chrome which consumes some memory.

So, I really think that it migth be tin on available memory.

But I haven't got any proof of that.

Anyway, I preserve the core, and if something additional is required, feel
free to ask.
