Still doesn't seem right..

eg..

[42309.542776] [ pid ]   uid  tgid total_vm      rss cpu oom_adj oom_score_adj name
..
[42309.553933] [  500]    81   500     5435        1   4     -13          -900 dbus-daemon
..
[42309.597531] [ 9054]  1000  9054   528677    14540   3       0             0 trinity-child3
..

[42309.643057] Out of memory: Kill process 500 (dbus-daemon) score 511952 or sacrifice child
[42309.643620] Killed process 500 (dbus-daemon) total-vm:21740kB, anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:4kB

and a slew of similar 'wrong process' death spiral kills follows..
