I added a subject so we can track this message on the list easier. ;)

Wild.
I've not encountered oomkiller being triggered when the server has free
memory and hasn't swapped to disk yet.
After the fact, it will probably be almost impossible to figure out the
list of files that rsync was storing in memory.
This makes me wonder if there's an option to have rsync log the list of
files (to be synced) to a log file of some sort. I'll have to look into it
later today when I have a moment.
