I have a feeling the OOM detection in rmap10c isn't working out because of another issue ... I think it has something to do with the swap allocation failure path indirectly triggering OOM, I think I'll go audit the code now ;) (oh the wonders of maintaining code ... auditing everybody's code and tracking down bugs instead of doing fun development ;)) cheers, Rik -- Shortwave goes a long way: irc.starchat.net #swl http://www.surriel.com/ http://distro.conectiva.com/ -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
