When working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, this is such a productivity killer. Quite annoyed at the time lost from this behavior, after coming from a Mac. In shells where I run a program that may load a larger data set (e.g. before ipython), I now regularly run `ulimit -v 50000000` to limit the shell's virtual memory to ~50 GB of the available 64 GB on this machine. If the program tries to use more RAM it'll then just die, and not drag down the whole system with it. Works fine, but I really shouldn't have to do this.
