Nah, it's most likely not telling you anything like that. Your log:
Nov 12 09:08:41 lothlorien kernel: memory : ca174cd0 Nov 12 09:08:41 lothlorien kernel: memory : 00000000 Nov 12 09:08:41 lothlorien kernel: memory : ca174410 Nov 12 09:08:42 lothlorien kdm[4949]: session start failed Nov 12 09:08:43 lothlorien kernel: memory : ca174cd0
The giveaway is the space before the colon. Here's what I previously posted on this issue:

Probably an X issue that's not relevant here.
