Ah, if you were running a kernel.org kernel, apologies.

I haven't seen the problem you describe, so I'm shooting in

How long does the problem take to occur after boot?
What kind of load are you putting on the system?
Have you checked the output of ps and /proc/slabinfo to
look for obvious bloats?
