Title:
  System freezes if memory is full

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If one or more process becames near of using 100% of system ram
  memory, Ubuntu will completely freeze.  It is not possible even to
  switch to a VT to try to kill one or more procs.

  First I tought it could be some problem with swap and I tried to
  disable my swap partition, but didn't make a difference.

  Before using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, I was using 8.04 32bits and this
  problem never happende with it.  If the memory was near 100%, new apps
  would crash when trying to malloc, but the system would still be rock
  solid allowing me to close running apps to free memory.
