[CentOS] memory leaking?? kernel problem?

[Maciej Żenczykowski]

I reported the same problem (OOM's on a 5GB system which should have had 
3-4 GB free).  It's a pure kernel problem and hopefully the new U1 kernel 
fixes this issue - it's in the redhat bugzilla, to quote:

[this is the 2.6.9-5.0.5ELsmp kernel]

OK ... there are known memory leak issues on that kernel

Your problem is similar, but not exactly like:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=150971


we'll see whether the new U1 kernel helps...
so long the situation seems much better...
