if you have 1 kB RAM free and you reboot you should have your RAM free again?

Or do you mean disk space? In that case: running an OS on a filesystem which ran out of disk space is asking for trouble. This counts for Linux, Windows, and pretty much anything else. This is why 5% space is reserved for root, but tons of stuff runs in userland...

Once I repartition with 150 MB space, just for the Fennec, no more issue, no crash over 24 hrs, so far.

Used hardware is N800, correct? Or...?

BTW, Fennec reported 4 MB. I suspect it takes more than 4 MB. And if you try to run with whatever 10 MB from your tar, I strongly suspect it is going to crash.

Ofcourse. For example for extensions and browser cache. In my case the directory was in 2 tests 6 and 9 MB. I installed all recommended extensions, and saved about 3-4 websites (t.m.o, slashdot, google, and some other on *.maemo.org/*)

Example in kB:

3231 Cache
2436 XPC.mfasl
643 XUL.mfasl
65 cert8.db
1 compatibility.ini
259 compreg.dat
7 cookies.sqlite
7 cookies.sqlite-journal
3 downloads.sqlite
1274 extensions
1 extensions.cache
1 extensions.ini
5 extensions.rdf
17 key3.db
1 localstore.rdf
1 lock
3 permissions.sqlite
259 places.sqlite
1 places.sqlite-journal
2 pluginreg.dat
2 prefs.js
20 search.json
3 search.sqlite
17 secmod.db
12 signons.sqlite
13 weave
101 xpti.dat

I recommend setting a maximum MB on the browser cache. Complaining a browser doesn't run well when you have almost no disk space is a no-brainer though. My S60browser crashed too when I didn't have enough disk space available. Its pretty much a given. Install software not on limited internal flash.
