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.

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. -- BOFH excuse #362:
