Oops, that should have been OOM killer. But you got it right anyway.

Some people say it stands for 'Out Of Memory' killer, but I know better.
They also say it's a Linux kernel process that takes upon itself to
violently end the life of runaway processes. Yeah, right.

I'll look into it. It only happened once, so I'm not sure if I can make
it repeat.

In an xterm. Which is quite cool. But I meant where real gurus spend
their time, without the aid of such frivolities as point and click, drag
and drop, toolbars, menus, or pretty icons. F1-F6, X free. >;-|

I think it does. So it surprised me when Python complained about the
code I patched. Maybe I missed the cause of the error altogether and
just managed to eliminate it by happenstance. Could well be, seeing as
how my patch was badly broken on this point.

But I'm told the Mac is the real issue. Only colons suffice over there.
