I reconfigured my text box for NFS root fs operation
and turned off swap. The box has 128M RAM.
At the time of OOM I was in Midnight Commander on normal vc (not xterm).
X+KDE (Kmail and a couple of Konquerors) was loaded but I didn't work
in X a that moment.
OOM killed top. I have top permanently running on vc10.
I presume it was neither big nor newly fired process so I don't think it was
right candidate for kill.
Last top screen is below.
(How nice: OOM killer taking snapshots of processes at kill time,
i.e. aids in its own debugging! :-)
(Oh, nice idea: dump top-like info in syslog after each OOM kill?)
