--- Comment #5 from Martin Birgmeier <d8zNeCFG@aon.at> ---
Update: Not only the program itself but also unrelated programs may be kill=
ed -
here is an excerpt of today's /var/log/messages:

Jan  3 09:08:55 hal kernel: pid 4892 (cawic), jid 0, uid 20201, was killed:

Jan  3 09:09:18 hal kernel: pid 2917 (xterm), jid 0, uid 80, was killed: fa=

The process was running as a regular user, so this can easily be used as a =
DOS
attack.
