Hint: if memory really gets tight, you can use swap space. Either  to
a  local  drive  (either through PCI or PCMCIA/PCCard or USB or FW or
...), or over the network. This just adds  another  level  of  stress
testing  to  areas in the kernel that are not so well covered by some
other tests.

Guess who found out that swap on MPC8xx was broken for  a  long,  long
time, and how it was detected?

Best regards,
