I set up a bridge for my network and I'm having some trouble. At first
everything worked great, but after about 3 days of continuous bridging,
my bridge machine died. Approximately once a second, the message: "br:
memory squeeze!" would appear on the console. Keyboard input was mostly
frozen, as well. I could switch virtual consoles, but I couldn't type.
No traffic would pass through the bridge. When I rebooted, everything
seemed fine.
I don't have a whole lot of memory on the bridge machine, but I feel
like it should be sufficient, since bridging is all it ever does and I
have plenty of swap space. The system log doesn't should anything I
thought to be abnormal. The memory squeeze messages were not logged.
Here's the output of /proc/meminfo:

Any suggestions?
