Pavel, thanks for your help so far. I attached the full kernel log of the "crash" in my previous message. Can you tell me if this oom killer action is normal/expected?
If the server is dangerously low on physical memory for kernel data (right on that ~800mb threshold), I would think the kernel would temporarily fail mallocs and start swapping user memory to the disk, rather then honoring the malloc and then invoking oomkiller. Or, as a last resort, honor mallocs using the swap.
Thanks!
Rick
