Hi, when I try to emerge kdepim-3.4.2 with the kdeenablefinal use-flag I get a lot of oom-kills. I got them with 512mb, so I upgraded to 1gig and still have them. What puzzles me is, that I have a lot of swap free when it happens.. could someone please tell me, why the oom-killer becomes active, when there is still a lot of free swap? I am just an user, so using easy words would be much appreciated ;)

Glück Auf Volker ps. I emerged kdepim without kdeenablefinal, so there is no big pressure, I am just curious -- [email protected] mailing list
