An app should be getting an out of memory error and not a SIGBUS when running out of memory. I thought we fixed the SIGBUS problems and were now reporting out of memory? If there still is an issue then we better fix out of memory handling. Provide a way for the app to trap OOM conditions? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
