</div></div>I have a VPS running wordpress and mine was also experiencing issues.<br>
I discovered that I could trigger the issue by visiting certain admin<br>
URLs. Apache would go mad and consume all available RAM and swap. It<br>
would then run out of memory and the kernel would go round killing<br>
things.<br>
<br>
I've limited the amount of RAM that PHP and Apache can use which seems<br>
to have stemmed the issue for now, but this looks more like a PHP<br>
issue than a wordpress one.<br>
