It sounds like a memory leak or poor handling of limit conditions. It sounds unsual for a process to eat all of system memory. Paging (Swapping) shouldn't be an issue beause the kernel gets the real memory it needs from a pool of less used pages. Other pages get swapped out and the soon to be executed pages get swapped in.
