SubjectRe: Small System Paging Problem - OOM-killer goes nuts
Date
David:  The exact command this time was a "tar jxf linux-2.6.23.tar.bz2" as 
part of an emerge (gentoo). Gnu tar version 1.18 but has happened with
prior versions too. I replicated it after my post by manually untarring it
on the command line and can almost always replicate the problem with any
large (GCC/kernel) tarball. If I shut down all other processes, the untar
will go longer but eventually the oom-killer will be invoked.

Pavel: I'll ping Olver Neukum about it.

Thanks for the responses!
-Josh
