put an insane application load on it (near out-of-memory conditions, saturated network, etc.

At work I test x86 hardware with Linux. I have seen some load related bugs. We prefer the e100 driver to the epro100 for this reason. I've seen one or two SCSI driver problems that were related to load. But really load related bugs are rare. When you do find a software bug, you just fix it... For example last week, we hired a consultant to fix a kernel bug in handling large RAID arrays.

Basically, I don't think it is possible to compare the two operating systems that way. If you could trigger bugs that easily the bugs would be noticed and fixed already.
