Looks like quicklists again. Can you try patching your kernel with the
following patch. It should be there in the next stable release.
commit 96990a4ae979df9e235d01097d6175759331e88c
Author: Christoph Lameter <clameter@....com>
Date: Mon Jan 14 00:55:14 2008 -0800
quicklists: Only consider memory that can be used with GFP_KERNEL
Quicklists calculates the size of the quicklists based on the number of
free pages. This must be the number of free pages that can be allocated
with GFP_KERNEL. node_page_state() includes the pages in ZONE_HIGHMEM and
ZONE_MOVABLE which may lead the quicklists to become too large causing OOM.
