More info on this.
We are running CentOS 4.4 x86. Sorry I didn't include that before. We
believe that this started happening about the time of the CentOS 4.4
kernel upgrade to 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp.
I'm writing info on the process using the most physical memory (rss)
each minute to a log file. In the same minute as the error message, a
user started a vmware workstation session. I'm thinking that this is a
likely culprit.
The rss number did not look unusual, though. About 98M RSS.
Thanks,
Steve
