Finally had a look at this case again and I am able to reproduce it.
Kernel kills the command:
[rakesh@simu build]$ ./pfunct -l -P
~/testrpms/webkitgtk-debuginfo-1.1.12-1.fc12.x86_64/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libwebkit-1.0.so.2.debug
with message:
May 10 12:19:20 simu kernel: Out of memory: kill process 2956 (bash)
score 496818 or a child
May 10 12:19:20 simu kernel: Killed process 5758 (pfunct)

I am using -l ( along with -P & one more option also) among the above.
ELF file is webkitgtk-debuginfo-1.1.12-1.fc12.x86_64/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libwebkit-1.0.so.2.debug
which is essentially a symlink to libwebkit-1.0.so.2.8.1.debug in same
debuginfo rpm.
Link to debuginfo rpm is:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/webkitgtk/1.1.12/1.fc12/x86_64/webkitgtk-debuginfo-1.1.12-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
It is 290 MB ELF file.

Looking into where this leaks happens and what would be better way to
deal with it.
