I think there is still a memory leak lurking, OOM seems to kick in (see

Yeah, it's a page leak, I think from page tables, which I haven't tracked
down yet.


Very minor thing: I noticed that the TT threads generally do not show
which process they are running inside the UML (as it used to), any way
to restore this?


Those aren't tt threads, they are skas0 threads, and we could probably restore the command names, but I haven't bothered doing so.
I thought about doing so, as the output of ps really looks bad.
Unfortunately, I found only very nasty ways.
On older host's, we could try to expand or strip down the environment in a 
similar
way as is used it tt. Then, names could be placed into stub-(stack?)-page.
Nasty, but it could work.
An even worse case is a host using stack-randomization. We need a pointer in the
host poining to stub-pages. If the host has left a "hole" above the stack, would
we have to "exec" until accidentally we get a stack starting at upper 
address-range
limit?
