This is a warning only (2.6.9 had the swap token breakage that triggered
suprious oom kills, so the warning was meant to get more info), can you
try with the kernel of the day?

It has my latest oom fixes that I recently posted to l-k and it should
be very reliable for the first time in oom-killer terms.

I tried it and it is working ok, when memory and swap become full processes are being killed very fast and the system becomes responsive again.

Do you want me to do some specific test and send you some results?

Thanks, Richard
