Thrashing and Crashing



I'm having some trouble with Linux. Whenever some application starts
taking up way too much memory (netscape with its leaks) and I run out,
my system starts hard-drive thrashing like crazy and becomes totally
unresponsive.
I can't do anything but ALT+SYSREQ my way to a reboot.
Is there any way to make linux handle this better? Any Kernel patches
perhaps?

Thanks,
