After having installed the last Merlin and after about one week of good operation I have started to have problems with the WEB Gui not responding.
Every time I solved with service restart_http but this time when I try to log in SSH I gat this message.

The rest of the router works well ...

You router has run out of memory so it can't create any new processes.

Sometimes if you persist and get lucky you might be able to log in with SSH. If you do get in I suggest you try and run "ps w" to list the active processes.

Other than that you'll have to power cycle the router.

I had this feeling.
I have been able to log and I tried once more to restart http ... what I got is a self reboot the solved the issue.
Now I have a 115 Mb of free memory but normally I see about 30 Mb free....

I wonder who is the responsible of taking memory...

Try and log on every now and then and do the "ps w" command. You might be able to see something before the router locks up again.

Difficult to see the difference from time to time. Now I have only 33 Mb Free ... well at next reboot I will dump the "ps w" results every 10 minutes to see the difference in comparison...
