Is this email not better sent to the navit developers?<br>I don't think Navit is maintained by anyone in the community of OSM. It may use data from OSM but it is not an OSM initiated project as far as I can see.<br><br>

Currently, the navit (routing app) launcher script modifies<br>
/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory without ever setting it back. This change<br>
should -if at all- should only be done with serious evaluation on the<br>
respective devices IMHO. I don't want to introduce random OOM process<br>
killings because apps start using the RAM the kernel has promised to them.<br>
<br>
Do I get the OK to remove the relevant lines? I will follow up on this<br>
mail with a patch that you can ACK.<br>
