I just tried it and - no it does not work.  
At least not with the following changes:

added #define PF_MEMDIE  0x00001000 to sched.h

replaced oom_kill.c with the 2.4.22 version

added out_of_memory() to the end of try_to_free_pages_zone()

replaced if (current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC && !in_interrupt()) {
with
replaced if ((current->flags & (PF_MEMALLOC | PF_MEMDIE)) && !in_interrupt()
) {
in page_alloc.c


effect is still unchanged. 
processes get killed by VM and not oom_kikll.c

any hints ??
