Bug description:
...on a booting system.

The chicken and egg problem is that upstart is the first process to run yet it still requires some other process (rc scripts here in PLD Linux) to mount all the directories and set / to be writable.

If it wants to mess with oom_adj / oom_score, it should postpone the adjustments until /proc becomes available.

Or just let the processes keep their current score if they are spawned before /proc is up - most of these are "tasks" to mount the partitions, not real services anyway.
