  On a memory-constrained system, this may trigger the OOM killer and
  affect other processes.

So you are saying that if one process allocates too much memory
it can kill other processes?

Do you mean entirely unrelated processes running as a totally different
uid for completly other purposes?

That sounds like a pretty serious issue in such operating systems.

In fact that issue sounds far more serious than what you are sending here.

Is that news?

Do you intend to cause some action against that problem?

Or, maybe are you just using AI?
