While checking one of big shared objects I found kernel getting unhappy and sending SIGKILL. File was 282M libwebkit-1.0.so.2.8.1 from webkit project. (Can be obtained from http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/webkitgtk/1.1.12/2.fc12/x86_64/webkitgtk-debuginfo-1.1.12-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm and extracted via rpm2cpio, file is libwebkit-1.0.so.2.8.1.debug) URL: http://rakesh.fedorapeople.org/misc/0001-dwarf_loader.c-Fixed-leaked-bogon.patch -- Rakesh Pandit https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Rakesh freedom, friends, features, first >From 897af23e9c66a74a27fc7a4b60567bc92163d066 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rakesh Pandit <rakesh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2010 20:34:03 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] dwarf_loader.c: Fixed leaked bogon Freed chunks of memory left by obstack. It went beyond kernels expectation for libwebkit-1.0.so.2.debug (from libwebkit-1.0.so.2.8.1.debug) file and so that it had to send SIGKILL.
