Hi Adam,
Most things you run in the backround (like ftp, irc, and such) install
their own handlers.
In fact, you have to know for sure that the job you run has not installed
a signal handler.
So, practically, the job must:
1). not be interactive.
2).

For 2.0.x it's append="mem=128MB" (an example, of course)
as a kernel parameter (i.e., LILO).
2.2.x should detect it with no problem.
Check how much memory the BIOS counts at start-up,
you might have faulty memory, or it may not be properly
sitted inside it's socket.

Depends on what do you mean on "losing". If you do the following:
run ftp
background it while it's busy (i.e., not reading from terminal, like in
downloading)
desintegrate parent shell process (like kill -9)
then ftp
