Bug Description
Binary package hint: bsd-mailx
I just ran this script http://
At /var/log/syslog.1 I've seen several lines like these:
May 4 21:30:43 host kernel: [1282828.125203] [17196] 1000 17196 1575 35 0 0 0 mailx
May 4 21:30:43 host kernel: [1282828.125208] [17197] 1000 17197 1575 37 0 0 0 mailx
May 4 21:30:43 host kernel: [1282828.125216] [17199] 1000 17199 1575 35 0 0 0 mailx
May 4 21:30:43 host kernel: [1282828.125220] [17200] 1000 17200 1540 17 0 0 0 mailx
I hope it isn't related to preload daemon.

I left htop opened, a new console also (two different windows) and before run the script I just set some new limits:
$ ulimit -d 100000 -m 100000 -v 100000
It's preload combined with mailx doing all the fuss. I'll try to run mailx with proload off or make preload ignore it.
