I am guessing this is memory related but i cannot find the source of the problem. I have noticed, although not quite sure,  that this problem occurs with high traffic (30Mbits when the above error happened). The ps output is as follows

Any ideas?

Just for future reference...
I am starting to think that the proble has something to do with the "qos-scripts " package and specifically with the imq device. Since I disabled it everything seems to run smoothly....

I have exactly the same problem. Do you know where the memory leak exits ? And how to solve it with the imq device ?

No unfortunately i dont have the knowledge to pinpoint the problem...All I did is stop the qos-scripts from running and the remove the imq module...Someone told me that the imq device is buggy when doing both ingress and egress traffic shaping at the same time but i dont have the time to verify now...

The discussion might have continued from here.
