Re: eth0: Memory squeeze, deferring packet

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Strange... but wha could be causing it? The box has 512M ram and has
almost 20M free... it is that empty and free.

Plus there is no huge amount of traffic going through it.

I'm just trying to figure out what triggered this :-/

Sincerely,
Jason
