While this program is obviously "bad", it does show that something is not right. It should print "OOM: killing process a.out" as the kernel will have to deliberatly kill this "out of hand" program. the "VM: killing" message means it could just as easily have killed another program due to this DoS program... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
