+I got the same problem very recently too... (a week ago)
+never got this before in spite of a daily use of Mageia2 since june 2012
+
+I had to do some hard resets before understanding it was akonadi and
+nepomuk that caused this (wondering which update was faulty)
+
+It's surprising because I have quite enough memory needed for hungry
+application (hugin and enblend to build huge panoramic photographies)
+
+In normal use
+(4 Go) of physical memory
+1 Go for applications
+2 Go free
+1 Go of disk cache
+and 12 Go of free swap
+
+
+When akonadi and nepomuk are used system gets frozen !!!
+I had to kill them and to inactivate the nepomuk service
+
+Out of Memory would mean that they are both of them very hungry...
+(though there were not so much more things to index )
+Something getting wrong as time goes ?
