For the 2.6.19.5, where we have this problem:
>From dmsg:
IP route cache hash table entries: 4096 (order: 2, 16384 bytes)
TCP established hash table entries: 16384 (order: 5, 131072 bytes)
TCP bind hash table entries: 8192 (order: 4, 65536 bytes)

#cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem
3072    4096    6144

MemTotal:       484368 kB
