But I don't know what process 19136 is.

Thanks again!

My crystal ball tells me it was emacs. Smilie

But the process killed isn't necessarily the one that caused the out of memory condition. The kernel tries to identify it but when the whole system is memory starved, EVERYTHING is fighting for memory...

NAME

       shmem - enable or disable System V shared memory

DESCRIPTION

       The tunable is obsolete.  The System V IPC shared memory subsystem is always enabled.

       Shared  memory is an efficient InterProcess Communications (IPC) mechanism.  One process creates a shared memory segment and attaches it to
       its address space.  Any processes looking to communicate with this process through the shared memory segment, then attach the shared memory
       segment	to  their  corresponding  address spaces as well.  Once attached, a process can read from or write to the segment depending on the
       permissions specified while attaching it.

WARNINGS

       Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable  parameter  values.   After  installation,
       some  tunable  parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values.  For information about the effects of installation on tun-
       able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed.	For information about optional kernel  software  that  was
       factory installed on your system, see at
