Yesterday I accidently noticed few OOM killer messages in the system log and leaved a console tailing the log for the night. In 6 in the morning OOM killer got mad generating 500 lines in the log and 5 minutes later system closed the ssh connection and became inresponsive. The guy in the datacenter told me that when he attached keyboard even caps lock was not working. Inspite of this the system still was responsive (only to) ping.
The strange thing is this machine is relatively light loaded - now after 6 hours being up free shows: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2075468 1148564 926904 0 123472 314516 -/+ buffers/cache: 710576 1364892 Swap: 1004020 0 1004020
Load average stays under 0.5 most of the time. In 6 in the morning it should be almost no load (there is no crons scheduled at that time).
I'm attaching messages from the log and my .config.
