OK, now I understand. You want to see if some processes are getting =
killed.
(I was thinking that you might want to see some sysctl counters or so).

Results:
* I'm able to compile/link/install a kernel from source. This was not
  possible before.
* When running three instances of sort /dev/zero, two of them get killed
  after a while (less than a minute). One continued to run, but got also
  kill eventually. All via ssh login.

Let me know if you want me to do some more testing.

Best regards
Michael
