Bug in 2.1.40 (IP-Fragmentation) ?

Since 2.1.38 I discovered the following message in /var/log/messages

May 23 08:19:49 primarpc kernel: IP: queue_glue: no memory for gluing
queue c042b120
May 23 08:20:20 primarpc last message repeated 6 times
May 23 08:20:30 primarpc last message repeated 2 times

The error message comes from /usr/src/linux/net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c
because
dev_alloc_skb() returns NULL, which can only happen if kmalloc returns
NULL
(am i right here ?).

I'm assuming that this error is triggered by the new "SLAB" kmalloc
code,
has anybody else seen this behavior ?

Greetings
Frank

PS: 2.1.40 otherwise runs great B-)
