Yeah I thought that might help too, I did that yesterday after the last 
corruption
I also set the overcommit_ratio to 100

So far everything is running smooth. but I also recuced the 
mupdate_workers configs, which usually makes cyrus last longer.
Im getting anxious here, I already have 643M worth of straces since I 
started it.  So far no ENOMEMs .
