Ironically -- considering the recent >'ammo' thread, I had no trouble with this in FreeBSD. )-: I fixed a potential oom deadlock and some omm related bug in the VM at 2.2.10 time. Unfortunately it's not been merged in the stock kernel yet (it also breaks all architectures and I fixed only i386 and Alpha as I don't have access to other hardware). Please apply this my fix and give us back any positive/negative feedback. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/andrea/kernel-patches/2.2.12/oom-2.2.12-I Thanks!
