Subject: [2.4] 0-order allocation failed

Hi all,

I'm running 2.4.28 bk snapshot of 2004.09.03
The machine has an uptime of 7 days, 23:46 now.

I was running several bittorrent clients inside of
a screen session. Suddenly they all died (including the
screen session).
dmesg sayed this:

__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1f0/0)
__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
VM: killing process python
__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
VM: killing process screen

I already got this with kernel 2.4.27 vanilla after a
higher amount of uptime (I think it was over 10 days).
This was exactly the reason I updated to bk snapshot.

What can be the reason for this? Is it OOM? (I can't
really believe it is).
Is it a kernel memory leak?

With 2.4.26 I never got these errors. And I ran uptimes
up to 50 days.
