Unfortunately, yes. It should not be, especially for a server OS. The only
comfort is that Linux already (nearly) hangs if you use a lot of swap
space.=09;-)

To be serious: To my mind this problem should be addressed as soon as
possible. I know each FreeBSD developer works for free - but this is a
serious problem (maybe it has been fixed in -current?).
