out of memory
My box is a Debian Sid 2.4.21-5-686 full update. I have 1 GB of ram and
another gb of swap. There's a lot of free disk space.
I get lots of out of memory.
Part of the dmesg:
...
GRE over IPv4 tunneling driver

ability 45e1.
Out of Memory: Killed process 372 (chown).
...
There's more examples like untar a kernel, i check in another term, all
the ram and swap are gone, then the message out of memory (and dont got
the untar finished).
Another example is updating the packages, there's a problem width the
cron package (or not) instead of kill the cron process all the memory is
gone!?
But i can run X and check my mail, etc.
What is happen?
I have this problem since the first upgrade this month.
Tanks in advance.
