It's a bit harsh, sending 330kb emails to linux-kernel. Please try to
strip these things down to the important information. Also, it'd be nice
if you could find the source of those double-linefeeds and make it stop.
I don't know whwy the VM decided that you've run out of memory. After the
oom-killing, does
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
make the numbers in /proc/meminfo change significantly?
Which filesystem was being used here?
Thanks.
