Once again I have to report: Linux 2.6 seems to have problems managing memory. After working on a laptop system (with Mozilla, X 4.3.99, Opera, 4xterms) for some hours the system becomes very slow. It looks like the system has no memery left, partly programs get killed (Out of Memory) although there is plenty memory left. I tried to kill processes to see whether one processes has a memory leak, but that's not the case. I even tried to kill all processes and restart everything (with sysrg+k) but this didn't show any success. Any ideas where the problem is?
