Try this program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main(void)
{
  char *s;
  int i=0,j=0;

  while (s=(int *)malloc(sizeof(int)*1024))
    {
      i=i+sizeof(int);
      ++j;
      printf("%d %d \n",j,i);
    }
}

Execution on my 386 results in an exception error after allocation of
about 10MB. Since I only have 4MB RAM, the other 6MB must be from
disk. But there is no graceful exit....
