Memory leak?

  No, 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 should not have the problem. That is actually 
the kernel the server that was having the problem is currently running. 
The slab debugging is only on in test/developments kernels as far as I 
know, and  2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 is a normal kernel. But your problem still 
sounds a lot like mine. I suggest examining /proc/meminfo and 
/proc/vmstat for clues. Also compare the results from a working kernel 
and a problem kernel.
