Well, it hit with OOM although I had 60+% in cache.

I cached some more output
/proc/meminfo, vmstat, zoneinfo pklus the dmesg log

I have no idea how to read all that, but it looks like there should be
enough mem free. In fact I only had firefox and some gnome terminals
running.

Well, hope you see something in that.

BTW, that is 2.6.32-rc8 with the patches for showing some more infos
in proc:
0001-Add-recent-rotated-scanned-info-to-proc-zoneinfo.patch
proc-filecache-v2.patch

Best wishes

Norbert
