It was probably the infamous inode.c memory leak. I saw it too. It was
usually happening when doing intensive IO.
The problem is fixed in 2.2.2.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
