<4>[46467.841278] select 1215 (app_process), adj 15, size 3265, to kill
<4>[46467.848052] select 1319 (app_process), adj 15, size 3279, to kill
<4>[46467.854583] select 1368 (app_process), adj 15, size 3286, to kill
<4>[46467.861297] select 2901 (app_process), adj 15, size 4791, to kill
<4>[46467.867828] send sigkill to 2901 (app_process), adj 15, size 4791

Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to
provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.  All such
questions should be posted on public forums, where I and others can see and
answer them.
