What about reserving a text console and run a program in it that will occupy a certain amount of RAM in shm segments (they're not swapped out---am I right here?)? You would only have to switch to the given console on the server (which should not require additional memory) (which (the server) should be in a locked-up room) and CTRL-C aka kill that program. Then there'd be memory to kill the offending process(es).
