Perhaps by OS crash you mean either the Linux out-of-memory (OOM) killer, that takes a hueristic stab at killing the right process, or Linux running almost out of memory, and everything grinding to a halt presumably because each task switch needs to re-read its program off the hard disk.
If either is the case, I understand this is part of Linux’s design, called “memory overcommit” or something. It is possible to disable it, though I haven’t tried myself, and many programs (probably including Python) are apparently not compatible. |
