Not sure about Linux, but under macOS I had a bug that was leaking uncompressed 12 MP photos in a loop. I was browsing the web while waiting for my process to run and I got up to something like 150 GB of swap used (macOS uses dynamically growing swap files) before I even noticed that there was something going on.
