 This is not really a bug.  Completely filling up all the physiucal
 memory when there is no swap space available is known to cause hangs.

 It shouldn't cause any different behaviour that filling up all of
 physical and virtual memory when there is some swap space available.
 The kernel should start killing processes and not hang, but applications
 might not like this and children of the killed processes might hang.

State-Changed-Why:  

To submitter:  Do you still see this issue with more recent versions of FreeBSD? 
If so, can you describe the "hang" in more detail?  Can you toggle Caps Lock, or 
ping the machine over the network?
