  | One possible issue I've been discussing with Soda privately is
  | whether or not it's suitable to panic system in such situation.

You shouldn't really ever panic because of legitimate user process
activity, no matter how bizarre - instead, if something is behaving
really weirdly, and the system is suffering because of tht just SIGKILL
it - that way it will release the resources it was hogging, and the
rest of the system can return to sanity.
