        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

    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

I think it's not reproducible on 2.4.14pre6aa1.
