I think the debian patch had been applied in releases after Hardy. But the daemon only resets the oom_adj value that it was originally called with. So in Jaunty a DHCP restart script which had the oob_adj value of -17 itself caused the same effect. See bug report #390556.

I have not checked lucid yet. But the issue itself caused me a lot of headaches and it would have been nice if it would have been fixed back in 2008 in a Ubuntu version which is labeled "LTS".
