Subject: oom-killer works,but the memory cannot be freed

My harware is a mips-achitecture hand-hold device, runs 2.6.24.3 and qt.
when an application program  opened a 3.2M pdf file, the memory was
consuming continually, finally the "oom-killer" things happened, the
applicaton was killed,
 but the memory occupied by the application still can not be freed. Is
there some methods
to do with this situation?
