Running 384_12 (latest stable) on an AC88 with Diversion & Skynet with 2GB swap file. Had a crash (early in the morning hours with no load):

kernel: Out of memory: Kill process 2306 (dnsmasq) score 16 or sacrifice child
kernel: Killed process 2307 (dnsmasq) total-vm:1328kB, anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB
kernel: mroute: pending queue full, dropping entries.

Wants to sacrifice child. Is this like Genisis 22:2 for the computer gods? But seriously, I would like to know what is going on here.
 
Apparently your 2 GB swap wasn't enough (or your swap wasn't working), your router still ran out of memory. dnsmasq itself was using 1.2 GB.
 
Well considering it's 512M of memory to start with, I'd say swap worked, but what in the heck is dnsmasq doing? Is this some massive memory leak? For now, I'll add another bandaid and reboot once a day (was every other day). Device works great when it works, and I expect I should be tortured (donning my horse hair shirt) for running a bunch of scripts (all through amtm though).
 
What time exactly did it error? Maybe it coincides with an update process, like downloading a new block list.
 
I believe you're on to something, thanks. It was 4:01 in the morning and there was chronjob activity just prior. Cleaning house!

Running out of memory - so the kernel OOM kills things in turn... Kill the parent, kill the children.

Might be running too many things here for the given resources.

Sorry... they will have those deals again, don’t give up just yet. I keep a close eye on Newegg deals everyday especially around holidays. You may want to consider signing up for their daily emails. I have been getting them for years...
