Gotcha, wrt. slabinfo. Seems 2.4.4 (at least on my box) only knows how to
allocate skbuff_head_cache entries, not how to free them. Here's the last
/proc/slabinfo entry before I sysRQ'd the box:

I've got a ton of logging from /proc/slabinfo, one entry a second. If someone
wants to peruse it, you can find it here:
http://www.unternet.org/~frank/projects/linux2404/2404-meminfo/
The .diff files are diffs between 'current' and 'previous' (one second
interval) snapshots. slabinfo and meminfo are self-explanatory I guess. The
'memhogs' entry is the top-10 memory users list for each second of logging.
Cheers//Frank
