It may not though. Or it can be made to survive to some extent. For
one thing the virtual memory file has space reserved on disk, and is
not resized live. I'm not totally sure how many things are writing to
disk in the background. At least the syslog, which could be stopped in
the worst case of no disk space left. In general the system could turn
itself into a read-only system like a live CD. And of course warn the
user that disk space is gone or almost gone. Having a configurable (on
or off) warning at a configurable space-left value might also be nice.

But this is getting off-topic and has nothing to do with Scott's
problem, so I'll stop now.
