The way sg_low_malloc() tries to allocate, failure messages are
pretty much garanteed. It tries high order allocations (which
are unreliable even when not stressed) and backs off until it
succeeds.
In other words, the messages are a red herring.

The user-mode port of 2.4.2 is available.
For the particularly paranoid, the ubd device now has the option of doing all
writes O_SYNC, either as a config option for all devices or on a
device-by-device basis. This is thanks to Lennert Buytenhek.
A couple of hostfs bugs were fixed.

Hi,
This is not uniqe to 2.4.2 but it's the first time I scraped this of the
console (so there may be errors in this report). I may not have
managed to copy this correctly from the console.

Can anyone explain why this test is in routine `do_coredump'
in file `fs/exec.c' in the 2.4.0 kernel?

The only thing the test on `mm_users' seems to be doing is stopping
a thread process from dumping core. What's
