[ut2004] UT 2004 abruptly stops

Spike spike at spykes.net

Your problem is that the OOM killer is killing UT2004 prematurely when
it shouldn't be. Maybe try a vanilla kernel?

Also I would make sure that you're not using an insane amount of
memory, but thats also unlikely as things should swap out to give space
for UT2004 anyways. I've never had the OOM killer kill the game myself
and I have 1gb of ram too.
