Hi Andrew,

Thanks lot for testing, I guess we need these fixes in 3.5

But I am puzzled...

Impossible ;) I think. I'd say it should be the next change

00c10bc13cdb58447d6bb2a003afad7bd60f5a5f
"pidns: make killed children autoreap"

which is fine by itself, but makes the problem (hopefully fixed
by -mm patches) more visible.

Oleg.
