[maemo-developers] Warnings when starting scratchbox (diablo) on debian Lenny

Hello,

When I start up my dev environment in scratchbox I call 'af-sb-init.sh
start'. I then get this warning;

Starting DBUS system bus
Starting D-BUS session bus daemon
Starting Maemo Launcher: maemo-launcher.
defender: died my parent is not who he claims to be
maemo-launcher: warning rising the oom shield for pid=8471 status=2816

I assume this is not so serious since everything works, but I would love
to know a little more about what is happening here. And shouldn't that
be "raising oom shield" instead of "rising"? :)

Google tells me other people might have similar questions;
http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2008-April/051052.html

Google also mentions the Linux Out of Memory killer which may be why the
shield is protecting against. Am I right in that assumption?

Thanks!

Jeremiah
