Wot? Not sure I understand what you're saying there.

Vmalloc is the area of memory that's being exhausted... What;s causing
that I have no idea. Could be some rogue app, but I'd expect it to be
freed when the app exited... I can kill all the apps & most other
programs running, and still not have any vmalloc memory freed up..
