Ok, thats right.
But i watched "top" while i was getting the malloc. And the fileserver 
was not bigger than 12 MB and the volserver as well.
Btw: I had a closer look to the core and it was produced by the bosserver.

Just at the moment of the writing i got a corefile of the fileserver and 
the volserver. I had several messages in syslog (kernel: __alloc pages) 
and the volserver and fileserver were killed by signal 6.
But they were successfully restarted a few minutes later, the salvager 
repaired the filesystem and the system is back up and running.

I will have a closer look at the core dumps. Might the newest Version 
(1.2.7) help me out? I still use 1.2.6.
