Hello,
 under some circumstance udev seems to create a huge amount of children
 slowly ending up in OOM.

How to reproduce:
# udevadm control --log-priority=debug
# echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
# /etc/init.d/openvpn restart

Bug: 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790156

Does anybody know why this happens (this was reproduced on openSUSE
12.3 (factory)).

I've also attached the /var/log/messages.
