No. The problem is that whenever I change something to
the OOM killer I get flamed.
Both by the people for whom the OOM killer kicks in too
early and by the people for whom the OOM killer now doesn't
kick in.
I haven't got the faintest idea how to come up with an OOM
killer which does the right thing for everybody.
regards,
Rik
