    Description

      0.4.10-RC-25-gc828fce gcc dbg lin is affected. This test was performed on FAT32 in ros.

      Our MM is still inferior.
      ReactOS reproducibly crashes when we try to install MS.NET 4 from rapps while just having 128MB RAM.
      Sometimes it "gracefully asserts" before the BSOD at least, sometimes it just crashes hard instead. But it will always BSOD right in the extraction phase of the setup.

      Contrary I can torture Windows XP SP3 with that setup with just 128MB RAM, run a huge load of other stuff at the same time even and it will reliably handle all that pressure.
      see xpsp3_IsTeachersPet.webm
      All that XP loses is execution speed due to heavy swapping.
      Ros does not swap at all, but simply dies after it consumed all the memory
      So the request here is to implement proper swapping.

      The ticket may be resolved as soon as we can complete the .NET4 setup on its own in ros with just 128MB RAM.
