puuh ... long time ago ... let's try

think using KSM & page-locking led to more stuff locked

than actually intended/expected (all memory used by ksm

iirc) which subsequently drove

the system into real trouble having to do heavy swapping on

the little memory left. In your case without swapping it is

hard to guess what would actually happen rather than oom

which is obviously not happening.

I would expect this issue anyway to be solved meanwhile

but anyway ...

Sorry for the degradation of my biological data-store.

There should be something on disk somewhere but

unfortunately I have no access atm.
