It seems that something has broken the good ol' swap behavior. For instance,
I have my user-limits set to unlimited and I run something which uses up
all RAM. Mallocing never FAILS in the program, as brk() doesn't fail, as etc
etc etc. But mallocing continues, all swap space gets used, and both the
runaway process and the next biggest gets killed (XF86, of course).
Matt, perhaps you can shed light on
a. why mallocs still succeed after
swap_pager: out of swap space
swap_pager_getswapspace: failed
is displayed
b. why the process continues and gets killed TWICE, or two different
processes get killed
?
