Hi again

Still on the same dual EM64T machine with a Tyan Tiger i7525 (S2672)
motherboard and 4 GB RAM for which I reported 2.6.12 oom killings a few
days ago:

I upgraded to Ubuntu Dapper and installed its latest 2.6.15 kernel,
which incorporates 2.6.15.4.  Started with the original "binary"
linux-image-2.6.15-16-amd64-xeon package,
and got a few oom killings even without running the same large test
programs as before.  Then recompiled the kernel with
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE, CONFIG_SCHED_SMT, no CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL,
and the dump_stack() call suggested by Andrew Morton for
mm/oom_kill.c [in out_of_memory()].

Repeated tests with Gaussian... and got oom-killer events similar to
those found with 2.6.12.   At
http://jmce.artenumerica.org/en/tmp/linux-2.6.15-oom_killings/kern.log
are the kernel messages from the killing of two Gaussian runs;
I just show below the beginning, until the first killing.

Any suggestions on patches or some pre-2.6.16 version I should try?
