I would guess that your system mostly fails becauseit  cannot handle the
allocation of the "large" arrays which store:

 * @bcast_own: set of bitfields (one per hard-interface) where each one counts
 * the number of our OGMs this orig_node rebroadcasted "back" to us  (relative
 * to last_real_seqno). Every bitfield is BATADV_TQ_LOCAL_WINDOW_SIZE bits long.
 * @bcast_own_sum: sum of bcast_own


Kind regards,
	Sven
