FWIW, I've tried the test proposed by Thomas in comment 314:
# for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6; do dd if=/dev/zero of=t-$i bs=1M count=1K & done
# find / 2>%1 >/dev/null
(the Java part did not start for some reason)

I ended force-rebooting my laptop, since it was impossible to control *after a few seconds*. I could only switch to VT and back to X, but very slowly and I couldn't even type a character there or in X. I have 500MB of RAM with a swap of the same size, Pentium M 1500 MHz: not very high config, but that should be sufficient to work, isn't it? :-) This was with 2.6.28, I'll try with 2.6.30rc2.
