i'm currently running a debian stable release but upgraded my kernel to 2.6.17 for decent support for my gigabit nic. now i was using a bittorrent client i got using apt-get (bittornado, stable release) and after some time i get these lines.. it happens every few minutes (15 or so)
i did some googling and they sometimes say it's a program leaking, or something with the kernel leaking memory. strange part is that my kernel isn't stopping processes like with other ppl.. not sure what's causing this exactly..

The phrase btdownloadhead1 definitely implies that you've identified the culprit...
Is it possible to remove and/or disable this module?
Are there any logfile entries which suggest some error-condition that is reoccurring on a regular basis? (Holes in error-recovery are often where leaks occur...)
Are there default parameters which control (throttle...) this module's use of kernel memory? It's logical to assume, after all, that a piece of software that calls itself "tornado" is probably gulping RAM.
well it's not a module, it's infact a program used to download torrent files.. it's a console version of bittornado (bittorrent client), and as far as i can see it only generates that problem when i'm downloading at a reasonable speed (250KBps or more), when i'm just idling or uploading mildly it's not generating any problems. the strange part is that i've used this program before and never had any problems (i think).
