I think you misinterpreted my comment. I didn't mention Linux anywhere in it, but specifically talk about how when dealing with OOM you must first discuss what the kernel provides. On RTEMS can malloc actually return 0 or does it never return 0 and there is a signal or some other event that is sent out from the kernel? These are the most important bits of information in this problem.
