Kernel version is 2.6.11.4 (SuSE 9.3), sort -rn +1 /proc/slabinfo | head -5
gives me following output:

reiser_inode_cache  91028 119889    408    9    1 : tunables   54   27    8 : 
slabdata  13321  13321      0

...but I have no idea how slabinfo output should look like.

These 2 OOM-killer crashes appeared after about 10-12 days uptime. The machine 
has 2 Giga of RAM. Fist 2 days after reboot memory usage stays very low, 
starts growing from about 500M until it reaches 2G within about 3 days 
uptime. Then ist starts slighly to swap, swap grows until crash.  Attached 
send a png of mailscanner-mrtg. You can clearly see the two crashes. (Last 
reboot was planned).

Thanks for your comments.
