I'll have to snag an i386 installation from somewhere, unless James can do me a favour and test it on his, if he has one. Can you try this please: cat /proc/slabinfo | cut -d: -f1 | sort -k 2 -n Just to check to see if there's a memory leak. Interestingly, I notice that SLUB's /proc/slabinfo appears to be broken. It's missing a number of slab caches from the list.
