This is not a kernel error, it is a configuration error. If you don't want this to happen, set up process limits, memory limits, and CPU usage limits. You can do this in /etc/profile and /etc/csh.cshrc, but I recommend the lshell package available from sunsite somewhere under /pub/Linux/System since it gives a more consistent interface to the problem and works with every login shell. (sorry I can't be more specific). Please respond to comp.os.linux.setup as this is off-topic for the kernel mailing list.
Cordially,
Sumner
