Hi Chrysn, thanks for the details!
The behavior we see here from earlyoom is clearly pathologic,
but I think `--avoid` will not save the day.
This would just delay dbus-daemon from being targeted, but it
will not prevent it.
Now what I don't understand is what consumes all the memory
and how it can be outside the reach of earlyoom.
Some ideas:
* a tmpfs filling up?
* the balloon driver in a virtual machine (is this a virtual machine?)
* processes running in another container (does earlyoom itself run in a
container?)
