Upon switching from 2.2.15 to 2.2.16pre7, I started
getting lots of these:

It seems to happen when I first turn on the computer and fire
up X + KDE + vmware + mgm (all memory hogs, granted).
The system usually freezes for 30 seconds or so until I'm able
to break out to a console. It doesn't start killing X and syslog
like the 2.2.15pre kernels did, but the freezing still bothers me.
Right now, at steady-state, "free" shows:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 127712 124740 2972 90204 2624 82972
-/+ buffers/cache: 39144 88568
Swap: 136544 19332 117212
After the system has been running a while, I don't see these
messages any more.
Any idea which 2.2.16pre kernel I should try to help narrow
this down?
