In System V, Release 2.1.0, we did considerable work on tightening up
the paging sub-system.  As a result, running out of memory resource
(be it main-store or swap space) now results in errors being passed
back to the running process rather than the infamous out-of-swap
panic.

System V, Release 3.0 was built on top of 2.1.0, and therefore
will not crash when out of swap space.
