I found it:

Subject: [PATCH] set*uid() must not fail-and-return on OOM/rlimits
http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2006/08/20/4

and lots of followups.  Alan NAK'ed the change at the time.  I think he
was wrong.  Anyway, there's useful info in that thread - please read it.

I think we should only bring the process killing suggestion up when the
move of RLIMIT_NPROC check is committed.
