I'll try these settings, but they're not going to address the root of the problem (memory leaks), just alleviate the symptoms.
Another question --and I am asking this because I ran into this problem recently on one of my servers-- are all your disks and filesystems OK? What filesystem do you use? Ext4? Or something else?
I have a single hard drive with three partitions: / using Ext4, /home using Ext4, and swap.
You don't happen to observe anything like that on your system? e.g. any mentioning of I/O errors, disk read or write errors or something like that in your log file, e.g. /var/log/messages? Or in the output of "dmesg"?
I don't see any I/O errors in my system log.
