There are definitive some huge issues with the Kernel but I think this is not one of them. If your applications try to use more ram than it is available and always trying to access/reserve this mem which is likely with Virtualbox every other OS wouldn't operate fine anymore. Of course it should be possible to switch to console and run some commands but this has nothing to do with this report I think.
Btw. I forgot to mention that I don't use a swap.
