I'm _very_ sure this isn't the case:

a) the machine has 64 GB of RAM.

b) I can even reproduce it after most processes are killed and only a
   few hundred megs of RAM are used (including cache) according to
   htop:

   Mem[||||                            320M/62.6G]

c) I would have seen this in dmesg.

d) If I've seen OOM on any of my Debian Sid machines recently, it was
   always chromium which was (partially) killed and nothing else. (Ok,
   no real reason, just a common observation of the past year. :-)

So sorry, no, it's unfortunately not that easy. ;-)
