But it's a memory leak in the game, not the kernel. They should complain to the game makers. If a game runs the system out of memory so a user can't log in on the root account and kill off the game, it's a problem with the game.
--and I don't know what a 'serious game' is. Perhaps its what the student is doing instead of studying so future engineers develop that necessary hand-eye coordination. It's great in design reviews, can swap hands and get a beat in between.
Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.4.20 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips). Why is the government concerned about the lunatic fringe? Think about it.
