I found it:
Subject: [PATCH] set*uid() must not fail-and-return on OOM/rlimits
http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2006/08/20/4
and lots of followups. Alan NAK'ed the change at the time. I think he
was wrong. Anyway, there's useful info in that thread - please read it.
I think we should only bring the process killing suggestion up when the
move of RLIMIT_NPROC check is committed.
