Tons of free RAM. Can't make it go away.

Hey everyone!

This is pretty embarrassing, but I've never seen this before. This is our system's current memory allocation from 'free -m':

             total       used       free     buffers     cached
Mem:         72485      58473      14012           3      34020
-/+ buffers/cache:      24449      48036

So, I've got 14GB of RAM that the OS is just refusing to use for disk or page cache. Does anyone know what might cause that?

Our uname -sir, for reference:

Linux 3.2.0-31-generic x86_64
