Yeah the hanging is being caused by your RAM being filled. Systemd-oomd will kill things more aggressively than the kernel out-of-memory handler that should stop it from locking up.

Alright, then that sounds like its definitely worth trying. Thanks for the suggestion. I guess it will be hard for me to tell whether or not it is working, because in the ideal case: nothing happens. But I'll definitely try it out and hope for the best.
