The following bug just appeared out of the blue.
I will try and stick to the bug-reporting procedure from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html
I had just played a game which gave the following message in dmesg:
Out of Memory: Killed process 24115 (fakk2).
My harddrive just started working very intence, and I was thrown out to
gnome within a second or two.
Minutes later another process (xchat) just crashed, this time dmesg didn't
say anything about out of memory, but gave me this:

No patches, fixes or own modifications of the kernel code. Just a plain
and simple 2.4.19 kernel. Has worked flawlessly up until now.
