Hi,

just for the record, it IS possible to prevent a process from being killed by
the OOM-killer:

| 3.1 /proc/<pid>/oom_adj - Adjust the oom-killer score
| ------------------------------------------------------
| 
| This file can be used to adjust the score used to select which processes
| should be killed in an  out-of-memory  situation.  Giving it a high score 
will 
| increase the likelihood of this process being killed by the oom-killer.  Valid
| values are in the range -16 to +15, plus the special value -17, which disables
| oom-killing altogether for this process.
| [..]

greetings,
        youam / Uli
