and lots of those repeated.
This was probably when I was trying to use pine to read a BIG folder and
both ram and swap exausted.
The problem is that by the time I noticed the problem, I used the quit
command in pine to quit (it worked) so I suspect that the following code:
/*
* oom() prints a message (so that the user knows why the process died),
* and gives the process an untrappable SIGKILL.
*/
void oom(struct task_struct * task)
{
printk("\nOut of memory for %s.\n", task->comm);
task->sig->action[SIGKILL-1].sa_handler = NULL;
task->blocked &= ~(1<<(SIGKILL-1));
send_sig(SIGKILL,task,1);
}
in mm/memory.c could be failing to kill pine somewhat. Note that the klogd
daemon was correctly killed (that's why I don't have the timestamps for
the printk's above...).
btw, shouldn't the printk line have a priority indicator?
Does anybody have a hint? Need more information? Please reply also
directly, since I only read the digest.
Happy new year!!!
bye.
