    It is trivial to solve this problem in a satisfactory
    way for 99% of the situations. There has never been a
    100% solution however and the last three times I sent
    such code to linux-kernel a (small) flamewar started.

    If Linus indicates he's willing to accept something
    like my 2.2 oom killer patch into 2.3, I'll code
    something up.

    regards,
