The problem is probably that you haven't configured resource limits on
your box. Try doing just this (RLIMIT_DATA is a good one, RLIMIT_RSS is
annoyingly the only RSS_* not yet implemented). Alternatively run crashme
so that it uses less memory and/or less concurrency. A command line option
I believe.
