MOL crashes

[David Bélanger]

The amount of RAM can be increased by changing the mol config size.
/etc/mol/molrc.osx, ram_size value.

Note: That this number can be the same and/or bigger than your actual
memory.  I have put it to 256MB, my total RAM.  Just make sure you have
a lot of swap space (512MB should be enough) on the Linux side if you
are running a lot or large application.

OS X never crash on heavy load with this config.  Heavy load for me is when I
compile large applications on both Linux and OS X and do other stuff at
the same time.   That means, CPU runs at 100% and RAM+swap almost all
used and this for a few hours.
