Expired? That is weird... how come it did not expire between comments#18 and comments#19, between 16Jan and 6Aug?
Anyway the bug is "alive"... as anyone could easily test, with a simple bash -c 'n=0; while [ $n -lt 33000 ]; do sleep 600 & ((n=n+1)); ((m=n%500)); if [ $m -lt 1 ]; then echo -n "$n - "; date; free -l; sleep 1; fi; done' On any PAE machine (any amount of RAM, any version userland code, and any version kernel, I tested many), that should produce an OOM in a minute or so. Conversely: does anyone have a PAE machine where the above does not produce an OOM? Yes I know I promised to test "latest development and upstream" or somesuch. Sorry I did not get around to it, yet: the test would be rather disruptive on my home computer. I also note the suggestion (from kernel developers?) in the references above, to use amd64 kernel even with 32-bit userland. Maybe Ubuntu could follow suit.
