I am having this exact same problem, with a machine that has 2G of swap
and 768M of physical memory. I filed a bug in Red Hat Bugzilla, and was
told to produce the output of /proc/slabinfo, but it takes the machine a
while to consume all of its resources to the point where everything
essentially is being run out of the swap file.
I will produce the Bug number once Bugzilla is alive again.
