please read again. even a good kernel can stop working/oops + hang.
simply reboot your device several tousand times and wait. it will
occour.

ofcourse there is no reboot-loop, because on next boot there will be
no oops again. if you have e.g. a wireless driver which is oopsing,
it's not worth shipping it 8-) and developers can switch off via
menuconfig this behavior.

have seen a lot of oom-killer-action: ofcourse murphy will be with you
and kills the daemon AND the watcher for the daemon, so again you have a
box which is...unreachable. if you ran out of memory that something is
completely wrong. (nice read: http://www.landley.net/notes.html#01-01-2013)

bye, bastian.

PS: here some nice oom-kills:
