Lots of fork and exec. I am running two large java processes (200Mb each) 
from within shell scripts in a bash shell. They also pump out a lot of 
output. The whole machine freezes midway through the run. The cursor still 
works though so I would guess that either all the CPU is taken or all the 
memory. My machine has 1Gb of virtual memory.
