mlock oops

[Benoit Dejean]

Hi,
	i'm using Debian SID kernel-image-2.6.11-powerpc [1] (which is not
tainted). I've unfortunately started sysutils [2] memtest as user (no caps, no
sticky bit).

/usr/sbin/memtest all

I was expecting the OOMK to rescue my system by killing memtest.
As expected, a few minutes later, my system was back. But an oops occured.
Here's dmesg output :
