Hi
somebody pointed out that mm->rss is defined as an unsigned
long, I think this patch is needed to do the desired effect.
I have not founded other invalid uses of mm->rss. Only that
in someplaces it is tested against (mm->rss <= 0) instead of
(mm->rss == 0). I think that the last checks are harmless.
Later, Juan.
