I went ahead and added a new oom handler that is a combination of
the original oom_kill.c combined with the changes from Tvrtko's patch
(originally written for 2.4.20) that kills off parents that keep producing
bad children. It sounds a little right wing, but it works :->
Just walking around cube-ville I'm hearing lots of cool ideas for little oom
handlers. I know in past project where I was attempting to cram mozilla
into a resource deprived TV set-top box, I would have loved to have an oom
handler that always blamed mozilla (since it leaked like a sieve and was
constantly a pain in my ass) and nothing else.
