I think it might be a legitimate fix, but if the oom killer is killing pid 
9134 in your log then I assume the next call to the oom killer will panic 
the system anyway unless there is actually a process using less memory 
that can be killed.  Would you mind enabling vm.oom_dump_tasks (it should 
default to enabled) and post the entire oom killer log?
