They're supposed to raise a notifier that allows debugging (and stop 
the Process that triggered the low space via an allocation, I 
believe).

However, it's quite easy to run out of space without the low space 
notifier doing anything apparent. Try:

* deep recursion
* allocating lots of little objects
* allocating one really big object (I think this one might work)
