Subject2.6.13.3 Memory leak, names_cache
Hello,

I'm having a problem with a memory leak in the kernel. I'm running
2.6.13.3 from kernel.org on FC4 on a Dell Poweredge 2850 Duel Xeon 3ghz
with 2GB RAM. Soon after booting up names_cache starts growing until it
consumes all available memory on the system until the oom killer goes
nuts and starts killing all the processes on the machine. After
googling the problem I thought it could be caused by a corrupt file
system but after running fsck the problem hasn't gone away. Here's the
entry from /proc/slabinfo:

names_cache 204686 204686 4096 1 1 : tunables 24 12
8 : slabdata 204686 204686 12

Anyone have an idea what could cause this problem or point me in the
correct direction?

Thanks,
