For me this looks ok, doesn't it? (Although I must > admit I'm not really sure what VmallocTotal tells me and whether it is > correct to be so large. Looks like RAM + Flash?) Looks okay in your case. Some time ago we faced similar failures when the system starts to grow its memory consumption. Until it uses the really amount of memory everything was fine, and when it hits the border to the non existing memory unpredictable things happend similar to yours.
