oomkiller in 2.4.23-bk3 gone bad

[Robert L. Harris]

Don't know about previous 2.4.23 but I'm getting this on a couple
servers that have high memory usage:

Dec  4 14:34:24 build1 kernel: VM: killing process fill
Dec  4 14:35:46 build1 kernel: VM: killing process fill
Dec  4 14:37:29 build1 kernel: VM: killing process df-checker.pl

Dec  4 14:47:20 build1 kernel: VM: killing process bash
Dec  4 14:48:31 build1 kernel: VM: killing process firewall

I've also seen it kill off cron and some other server critical
root-owned processes.
