    Turns out it's not that hard. Sorry for the slight delay, I've been away
    a few days.

    root@sleepy chris # grep Killed /var/log/messages
    Nov 21 22:24:22 sleepy Out of Memory: Killed process 6800 (qmgr).
    Nov 21 22:24:32 sleepy Out of Memory: Killed process 6799 (pickup).

    Nov 21 22:25:00 sleepy Out of Memory: Killed process 6473 (distccd).
    Nov 21 22:25:00 sleepy Out of Memory: Killed process 6582 (distccd).
    Nov 21 22:25:00 sleepy Out of Memory: Killed process 6686 (distccd).

    If you want to seem the actual oom messages just ask.

    This is with 2.6.10-rc2-mm1 + your patch whilst doing an "emerge sync"
    which isn't ridiculously memory hungry and shouldn't result in oom kills.

    Informally I felt I had better results from Marcelo's patch, though I
    should test both under the same conditions before I say that...

    Regards,
    Chris R.
