I suppose you get your answers but :

       A) VM has major issues
                1) about a dozen recent OOPS reports in VM code
                2) VM falls down on large-memory machines with a
                   high inode count (slocate/updatedb, i/dcache)
                3) Memory allocation failures and OOM triggers
                   even though caches remain full.
                4) Other bugs fixed in -aa and others

I wonder if your machines trigger 2)?
