Am still looking for a fix for my 4.7-RELEASE no-coredumps crashes :(

I've decided to revert to my 4.6.2-RELEASE kernel, to which everything
seems to be back to normal for now (transferred 0.5GB files to and fro
without any hiccups whatsoever).

A study of /var/log/messages reveals the following:
Oct 24 00:10:57 krista /kernel.STABLE: vmnet1: promiscuous mode enabled
Oct 24 00:10:57 krista init: getting vmemoryuse resource limit: Invalid
argument

There are other similar messages on logins and crons

/var/log/cron has the following:

Oct 24 00:00:00 krista /usr/sbin/cron[638]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) 
Oct 24 00:00:00 krista /usr/sbin/cron[639]: (root) CMD
(/usr/libexec/atrun) 
Oct 24 00:01:00 krista /usr/sbin/cron[645]: (root) CMD (adjkerntz -a) 
Oct 24 00:10:00 krista /usr/sbin/cron[371]: (root) CMD
(/usr/libexec/atrun) 
Oct 24 00:10:00 krista /usr/sbin/cron[371]: getting vmemoryuse resource
limit: Invalid argument
Oct 24 00:15:00 krista /usr/sbin/cron[623]: (root) CMD
(/usr/libexec/atrun) 
Oct 24 00:15:00 krista /usr/sbin/cron[623]: getting vmemoryuse resource
limit: Invalid argument

Does this shed a light on anything? I am pretty positive at this point
to rule out hardware glitches. If someone points me to the right
direction, I will gladly provide any sort of logs or information which
is required to trace the root of the problem.
