Subject: Out of memory on 3.5 kernels

Hello,

for some time the slab usage is quite high (~3.2 GiB) and whenever I try
to do a backup with ccollect (which is using rsync), a lot of processes
(like chromium) are being killed over night.

I'm running 3.5.4 on a Mac Book Air 4,2, dmesg attached.
This did not happen before ~2 weeks ago, thus I suspect the update from
3.4.2 to 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 to be responsible.

Is this a known bug or only hitting me?

Cheers,

Nico
