Wally, so . . . I probably should have put this in my last post, but I just now thought of it so . . .
You have two options here. First, you can setup a swap disk using external media temporarily while running the upgrade processes and see if that fixes it. This will only work if in fact this is a problem with the oomkiller. Second, you can run strace on your executable to see whats going on when it erroneously exits. And you'll probably want to pipe the output to a file.
