icecast with +- 1100 users eats 1 gig memory and crashes ...

Icecast 2.2.0 on Linux Fedora Core 1 (running on a dell 2650) uses about 1 giga of memory when 1100 users are connected and eventually crashes (icecast process stops) without meaningfull info in log or coredump files ...

The icecast front-end servers (to which users can connect) get their 44 mp3 sources from an icecast relay server (to which encoders or other servers can connect) using the master relay function. Additionally the front-ends use also the icecast fileserving. I will paste both the front-end and relay configuration files :

Front-end configuration file :
