Don't know how I managed to do this but it it quite strange:
While browsing through the Web (searching a new playmidi to
stress the sounddriver BTW) with an alive ISDN connection,
it had seemed that the kernel kill *all* programs in memory
(including the Xserver, ipppd, WindowMaker, Mosaic, ncftp, isdnlog,
qmail, syslogd, inetd just to mention the most important ones)
A ps -aux looked like this:
USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 1 0.2 1.4 1084 436 ? S 22:05 0:04 init [2]
root 2 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? SW 22:05 0:00 (kflushd)
root 3 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? SW< 22:05 0:00 (kswapd)
root 11 0.0 0.6 840 208 ? S 22:05 0:00 /sbin/update
root 47 0.0 3.7 1972 1160 2 S 22:06 0:00 -bash
root 48 0.0 3.6 1972 1112 3 S 22:06 0:00 -bash
root 72 0.0 3.6 1980 1132 1 S 22:09 0:00 -bash
root 125 0.0 1.0 860 320 4 S 22:13 0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tt
root 150 2.0 2.0 1276 620 1 R 22:43 0:00 ps aux
The memory was nearly free and the kernel seemed alive. No segfaults
were generated. Also no kernel problems displayed.
