Subject: Kernel 2.6.29 runs out of memory and hangs.

Dear All

Our Kernel-Version:

Linux thinpower 2.6.29 #5 SMP Sun Apr 5 20:04:08 UTC 2009 x86_64
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5450 @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

This morning our Server ran out of memory and had to be hard rebooted.
The system hast 32 GB or memory and 4 QuadCore Xeon CPUs.
/var/log/kernel/current tells us the following:
