So I gave it another try, configured remote syslogging and additionaly
wrote a script which logged the free memory every 5 seconds to syslog.
Here are the famous last words of the router (and some previous logging
lines so you can see how the memory usage increases):

The memory usage increases but It doesn't look like it has anything to
do with the crashing router. This increase may be normal because Azureus
sees lots of different IPs during the session, resolves them into
hostnames (cached by dnscache), conntrack tables, what ever.

What exactly means "dst cache overflow"? And what is "NET: 85 messages
suppressed"? Maybe I need to increase some logging level to see these
suppressed and maybe important messages?

Also interesting to see that DNS resolving no longer works in the last
two log lines sent by the browser. So the router was already dying while
it still was able to sent log lines before it died completely.
