----- Original Message -----
> On a system with low memory, fork12 can trigger OOM killer before it hits
> any fork() limits. The OOM killer might accidentally kill e.g. the parent
> shell and external testing tools will assume the test failed.
> 
> Set high oom_score_adj on the children of the main fork12 process so that
> the OOM killer focuses on them.
