A third option might be to "volunteer" ourselves if we're using a lot of memory to be killed by the OOM killer when it's searching for a process to kill.  We have some influence on the OOM killer by increasing or decreasing the value in /proc/<pid>/oomadj (http://linux-mm.org/OOM_Killer).  This could somewhat alleviate the problem that the OOM killer kills a "random" process that the OP described.  I'm not sure how effective this option might be, but I thought I'd at least bring it up.
