I literally know nothing. All I know is that it's in syslog.

[root at saturn log]# grep NetLOCK messages | grep 'May 11' | wc -l
115
[root at saturn log]# grep NetLOCK messages | grep 'May 10' | wc -l
101
[root at saturn log]# grep NetLOCK messages | grep 'May  9' | wc -l
67
[root at saturn log]# grep NetLOCK messages | grep 'May  8' | wc -l
101
[root at saturn log]# grep NetLOCK messages | grep 'May  7' | wc -l
67

It seems to have started May  5 17:42:17 saturn kernel: NetLOCK: total 
memory limit exceeded, using 3071900 bytes, request for 308 bytes

Ideas?
