Is this due to memory exhaustion? If so, does Safari not have limits applied that cause it to be killed for running into OOM?

It does. The memory allocation that causes the crash doesn't come from Safari, though: it's a memory allocation in the kernel (likely somewhere graphics related), and that counts towards XNU's memory consumption and not Safari's.

Ahh thank you!
