I think this might be a dupe. CCing Xan who should definitely know.

The trace is different, but it definitely looks like bug 42756. To double check enable overcommit and see if it stops happening (echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit).
jens.timmerman
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory
does fix the problem!
