I have FULL INSTALL with 4GB RAM and no swap partition.

The "free memory" thingy normally tells me that 8864 is free
(btw I understand that it is not RAM that it indicates, but what does it indicated for FULL INSTALL?)
what surprised me tonight (while surfing on Seamonkey, with nothing else going on)
that suddenly the usage went 100%, red box with warnings about lack of available memory appeared on my screen . . .
I must admit - I have panicked a bit and simply rebooted.
Everything is fine now, but I don't like things I do not understand, so I hope that somebody can enlighten me please
