What happens is that the previous victim did not enter exit processing. If
it would then it would be excluded by other checks. The first victim never
reacted and never started using the memory resources available for
exiting. Thats why I thought it maybe safe to go this way.
An issue could result from another process being terminated and the first
victim finally reacting to the signal and also beginning termination. Then
we have contention on the reserves.
