The log that was presented in the References link is a normal oom killer 
log and would be typical if you exhausted 1GB of swap space.  It correctly 
kills the chrome process in the log provided, but other relevant portions 
seem to have been snipped for futher diagnosis.

Mathias, could you please provide the entire oom killer output, 
specifically the last time it was invoked (search for "invoked 
oom\-killer" and paste everything after the last occurrence)?
