Hi,
We have had a strange crash in the SER server we use. The load was not that big
- around 10 users being served at that time. All of a sudden, the server stops
responding and reports the following error in /var/log/messages:
Feb 4 14:41:35 sip kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 3780 (ser).
Feb 4 14:54:52 sip kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 3857 (ser).
Feb 4 14:58:08 sip last message repeated 10 times
Feb 4 15:02:17 sip kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 3860 (ser).

It seems like the kernel OOM killer picks up ser as its victim.
However ser never use more memory then ~ 1Mb + the size given to -m (or
32MB if -m is not used). So either you use too much shared memory (-m
size is to big) or there is some other application eating a lot of
memory and the kernel OOM picks ser for some obscure reason.
