It doesn't work. The application killed by reason of insufficient
resources is not (necessarily) the one that causes the page fault
leading to that.

Id est, if my application allocates all available memory, touching every
page, and then some other application touches a pre-allocated page not
backed by memory or swap, it is quite likely mine which will get killed.
