This was not quite true. I used a linux box that had very few swap space. In
fact the "SUN JDK virtual machine" on the linux box behaved quite similar to
the "KAFFE virtual machine": the pages of the process have been swapped in and
out and it was rather slow...

It was not really a crashed kernel but a denial of service due heavy swapping
activities...
