Problem with OOMKiller 2.6.8-rc3

[admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

today i tried to burn a cd (bin+cue image) that was located on an
nfs share.

- boot 2.6.8-rc3
- startx
- start k3b
- burn image

after ~50% of burning the mouse stopped moving over the screen. the
keyboard was dead.

the maschine was reachable via network, so i ssh'd and saw the
following in dmesg:

The maschine in an acer travelmate 291lci with 512 mb ram.

i saved the output of /proc/{slapinfo,meminfo,vmstat} and rebooted.
i'll let you know,  if i can reproduce it

please let me know, if you need any other information and output.

thanks, sebastian
