 ## Issues
 
+### Memory Accounting
+
+The combinations of Linux kernel version 3.x and Docker >= 1.12 could lead to a major problem with memory accounting causing the kernel to kill the CrateDB process in the container. This problems occurs because of a [slab shrinker issue](https://lwn.net/Articles/628829/) that is fixed in kernel versions >= 4.0.
