Re: __alloc_pages: 2-order allocation failed



Hrm.  I meant to do that, but my investigation led me to spamd, so I
restarted it, as I was trying to get SMTP back ASAP.  :)

The odd thing is, psychology shouldn't be running out of memory - this
beast has 4 GB.

Current output of free:
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       4140064    4120784      19280          0     519424    2317352
-/+ buffers/cache:    1284008    2856056
Swap:      2498880      66672    2432208

Hrm...

I'm amused that it managed to allocate all of that memory...
