I ran a program which is trying to suck up all of memory. I would like
to kill the process, but "top", "vmstat", and "ps" all hang when I try
to use them. Also, pressing ctrl-c in the terminal where I can the
program won't kill it.
To an extent, however, the system was still usable, albeit EXTREMELY
unresponsive. Eventually, the program dumped core, and everything
returned to norma.
Is this a known problem?
