| |
I've noticed lately that the behavior of the kernel when some process goes berserk and fills up all the swap is a little strange. It seems to start sending SEGV's to many processes as the large one grows. This wouldn't be so bad, except that init is often killed. Is a modification to protect the life of init in order? Or should we just make sure this never happens?
