Is that true for all OSes?  I don't see how this is really possible 
given that dynamic memory allocation can occur an unknown number of 
times and can involve an unknown quantity of memory.

In an OS using virtual memory management, might the OS expand the "pool" 
(as you described it) to disk usage?
