Hello folks...
After another complain on #kernelnewbies about the OOM killer doing
strange thingss, by killing small processes when its really not needed,
and not doing anything when its really OOM i ran out of nerves and came out
with an idea, which i believe already settled down is some brains.
I speak about providing in /proc list of process badnesses, possibly with
some additional info...
Its just a shame to have a stable kernel randomly killing processes even when
its not needed...
(this message was planned as answer to Linus request for any kind of VM bitchig....)
regards, Samium Gromoff

I think it's not reproducible on 2.4.14pre6aa1.

5 minutes later my original message one folk wrote on IRC a phrase which
took me down for some minutes due to -ETOOMUCHLAUGHTER, and i was unable to
resist an urgent need to post it here cause it was so on-topic:
<wli> The penguin hath spoken, now we must clean the guano from the ice.
cheers, Samium Gromoff
