 Turns out this is just the mlock limit that the memtester is hitting, 
 and I have actually no idea what is going on. Other than I have some 
 sort of stability problem, and all the numbers I thought were related 
 are likely unrelated. :-| Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
 
 I'll continue memory testing some more, but so far nothing showed up and 
 just a week ago Linux had no stability problems.
 
 Sorry for being so clueless and misinterpreting everything so far!
 
 Sucks that doing the CTRL+ALT combos don't seem to work for me either 
 once it locked up, for whatever reason it does so.
