	That is a consideration.

	Thanks for your help in this matter.

I am still interested in making a patch based on diffs from 
4.3-STABLE and 4.3-SECURITY. Would this be easy to do or have there been a
lot of kernel changes that affect this issue. Is it good enough to look
at killproc() and vm_pagout.c or is there more to it than that.

	thanx - steve
