I found the problem. I dont know where is the real problem, but I know 
workaround for it.

I have script, that is working with serial devices, and making ppp connection 
over it, and assigning IP to that interface. And script assigned Ipv4 address 
when was pppX up(but not necessary connected with other client). And after 
examining log, I found this send: network is unreachable and after hour maybe 
two there was that error in memory allocation, but of course only when 
connection was unable to made.  

So when I changed my script to assign IPv4 when there was ALREADY assigned LL 
ipv6(so connection was made with other client, because pppd assign LL IPv6 when 
connection is made with other client), there was no problem with that. And it 
working very good, for now. Of course this error only occurred , when ppp was 
unable to make connection, so cable was disconnected.

I am not a programmer, but I think there is a problem where interface was going 
up and down, and it had assigned IPv4. So if interface don't have ipv4 
assigned, babel is working OK, but connection with other side is not 
established. That mighty by just problem with interfaces like ppp. So there 
might be a memory leak ?!

My script assign ip with command: ifconfig pppx IP_ADRRESS netmask 
255.255.255.255. And I have some special needs to have static assigned IPv4 
address.
 
I can send slabinfo, if there is any need.
I know that is very special problem, but maybe sometimes will somebody found 
this useful ;)

If there is something unclear, just ask me. Or if you have any other suggestion.

No, thanks.  As long as it's the kernel that is failing (ENOMEM from
IPV6_JOIN_GROUP), I cannot debug it from here.  I would assume
a kernel resource leak, either in the kernel or on Babel's side.

You may want to try with a different kernel release.  You may also
want to try to monitor /proc/slabinfo to see which resource is getting
exhausted.

Sorry, but there's really not much I can do on my side.
