Bug#789796: systemd[1]: Looping too fast. Throttling execution a little.

[A Mennucc]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-17+deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Mantainer,

systemd is logging a lot of error messages as in the attached log

I also attach the output of strace -p 1

Someone wrote on the Internet that this may happen when the system
runs out of memory. This was my case. In the log you may see

giu 23 19:41:40 kytty systemd-journal[30249]: Journal started
giu 23 19:41:40 kytty systemd-journald[227]: Received SIGTERM from PID 1 (systemd).
giu 23 19:41:40 kytty systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service stop-sigterm timed out. Killing.
giu 23 19:41:40 kytty systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: main process exited, code=killed, status=9/KILL
giu 23 19:41:40 kytty systemd[1]: Unit systemd-journald.service entered failed state.
giu 23 19:41:40 kytty kernel: ghc invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201da, order=0, oom_score_adj=0

Bye and thanks,

    a.
