I rebooted, and reran the test, and within minutes, got it into a state
where it was killing things again fairly quickly.
This time however, it seems to have killed almost everything on the box,
but is still alive. The problem is that all the memory is eaten up by
something, and kswapd/ksmd is eating all the cpu.
(Attempting to profile with perf causes perf to be oom-killed).

The machine is still alive, though somewhat crippled due to the oom-killer kicking in a lot,
but I can keep it up for additional debug info gathering..
