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 ?
