I had a similar issue with 2.6.22.9, but as I had a proprietary nvidia
module loaded, I didn't report it. X was not enabled, though.
At this moment, the machine was spawning quite a bit of bash / awk etc.
processes with large variables (50 MB or so), and used memory and CPU a lot.
Normally, it's my desktop machine, and it's rarely on for more than ~12
hours, but this time, I left it on for a couple of days.
After this happened, these bash / awk processes died. After I restarted
the script again, I lost ssh access to the machine, and I saw no more
entries in the syslog. The machine was pingable though, and had it's
network sockets still open (I could telnet to ssh port).
I used SysRq to reboot the machine.
