Heh. Figures. Those freezes are what bothers me most, since I've already got a patch that protects critical processes from being OOM-killed as long as they're sane. I just want an OOM-killer that is FAST and doesn't lock up the machine. I don't really care what it kills, since it won't be *able* to kill anything really critical. Chris
