Can you test whether an older kernel (preferably the one that worked
before) shows the same problem?
I could try 2.6.17...but currently I don't know how to reproduce the OOM
condition - so I'd have to wait 24h until *something* happens and the
OOM killer kicks in.
This way you might know whether it's a kernel problem or a distribution
problem.
I think I'm more interested as to why the OOM killer seems to kill
innocent apps at random. I can imagine that it's not easy for the kernel
to tell which userland-application is using up too much memory. Hm,
egrep -r "OOM|ut of memory" Documentation/ does not reveal much :(
Thanks,
Christian.
