ah I didn't notice thanks for the info (I see it in the CVS), however he was running 2.6.7 so the code I mentioned is still there in 2.6.7 and in turn my suggestion will work fine there since it'll remove the oom killer out of his way. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
