Are you able to update the system to a newer kernel? I believe 2.6.7.11 is the latest. This issue was most likely resolved in a later version.

The problem is that the system thinks that there is 536 GB of allocated virtual memory. Kernel 2.6.9-42.ELsmp (64-bit version) is currently installed. The same behavior was observed when running kernel 2.6.9-5.ELsmp (64-bit version). Can someone provide an explanation for this phenomenon?
