I believe so, but unfortunately I don't have access to a Ubuntu installation with swap for the time being. But I've made little test program that allocates memory to reproduce the problem.
Compile it with (sole requirement is a C compiler): gcc -Wall memhog.c -o memhog Then test with "./memhog mbs-to-allocate", e.g. "./memhog 400" to eat up 400 MBs of memory. The program sits tight on the memory for 60 seconds, then quits. ** Attachment added: "Test program to allocate memory" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5248717/memhog.c -- Thrashing hell https://launchpad.net/bugs/27441 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
