Chris, can you change the "500*HZ" in mm/vmscan.c balance_pgdat() 
function to "1000*HZ" and see what you get, please?
... I'll leave it running and see how it goes. The daily cron run is
a usually a popular time for killing off a few essential daemons
(ntpd, sshd &c), in fact I think the OOM Killer actually looks
forward to it :)
As I suspected, like a recalcitrant teenager it was sneakily waiting 
until everyone was out then it threw a wild party with several ooms and 
an oops. See below...

This, obviously is still without Kame's patch, just the same tree as 
before with the one change you asked for.

Regards,
Chris R.
