I can't remember but I did sit in on a presentation about 15 years ago where they explained it. I lent the notes to a senior developer and never got them back.

It doesn't have an OOM killer. Even more remarkably a call to allocate memory can't fail, but it may not return either. When Solaris (well, SmartOS in my case) runs completely out of memory, all hell breaks loose.
