Huh? Can you rephrase? There is no way that adding a notification mechanism orthogonal to the OOM killer can regress the existing functionality, so you're either thinking about the problem incorrectly or not understanding what I'm proposing. If it's the latter, I can try to clarify more. -- Ivan Krstić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPG: 0x147C722D _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@laptop.org http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
