BB> If Os/2 runs out of memory, will the system Halt?
     This is a purely emipirical answer, if you get an answer from someone 
with actual theoretical knowledge, take that.
     Yes.
     On two occasions I've had memory leaks that resulted in 200 megs or so 
of my virtual memory getting eaten.  And when I hit zero, the system promptly 
crashed (not a freeze, a complete crash) I've got my system set to just log 
trap errors and reset, so it did just that and things were happy.  All I can 
say, is that while a nuisance, it's no big deal, if you're eating up all your 
virtual memory, you will normally have such incredible performance 
degradation from swapping that the system will freeze from that, long before 
you ever run out of virtual memory.
