I'll mark the bug as fix released as I think Ubuntu releases no longer suffer from this problem. Also, all Ubuntu releases still receiving normal support have moved away from upstart.

Host: - kernel: 2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64 (Debian testing) Container: openssh-server: 1:5.3p1-3ubuntu4 (Lucid) Upstart: 0.6.5-7 (Lucid) This is a known problem (mentioned on http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9170868&postcount=2). What information is required to debug this? Some strace output? WORKAROUND: - comment the "oom never" line POSSIBLE FIXES: 1. Ignore any errors when trying to set "oom never" for the job?! 2. Only apply "oom never" if not in a virtualized context (see comment #2).
