I tried that in a VM running latest Linus tree. I see trinity children
getting nuked regularly from oom.

I was dumping Vm elements using:

while [ 1 ]; do echo $(date) $(egrep Vm /proc/$pid/status); sleep 1; done

And right before the process is killed was the line:

Fri Jul 12 11:00:19 MDT 2013 VmPeak: 2867472 kB VmSize: 2867472 kB
VmLck: 0 kB VmPin: 0 kB VmHWM: 1493092 kB VmRSS: 1493092 kB VmData:
2857944 kB VmStk: 136 kB VmExe: 100 kB VmLib: 1844 kB VmPTE: 5628 kB
VmSwap: 0 kB

The VmData is growing fairly steadily and strace shows a lot of brk
calls. Is that normal for trinity - or this command line?

Looking at the perf_event_open calls I see a lot of E2BIG errors in
addition to EINVAL. e.g,

...
perf_event_open(0xba9000, 0, 0x4c, 0xcc, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
alarm(0) = 1
getppid() = 9031
alarm(1) = 0
perf_event_open(0xba9000, 0x2a6e, 0xe, 0xfd, 0) = -1 E2BIG (Argument
list too long)
alarm(0) = 1
getppid() = 9031
alarm(1) = 0
...
