(forwarding to LTP for fyi)

New systemd (v243) has a feature, which appears to be killing our test harness by default.

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html#
  "OOMPolicy= ... If set to stop the event is logged but the service is terminated cleanly by the service manager."

Harness process (started by systemd) starts LTP. LTP runs oom01, where child process gets
killed by OOM and then systemd "cleans up" harness service and job aborts:
