I have a machine with 64 meg of ram and a 100 meg swap.
I was very supprised to see in my syslog that inetd, sendmail, crond,
inetd, etc.. all ran out of memory. to I checked top to see how much was
used and why and I see the following:
Mem: 62656K av, 2966844K used, 1290116K free, 4128K shrd, 32028 K buf
Swap: 102380K av, 4212K used.
Okak, If I check my math on this, I have 64M+100M of available "memory" and
somehow out of this 164 meg I am using 2.9 Gig!? with 1.2 Gig left?
The only process that was active was a cdripper, which also died from lack
of memory.
/proc/meminfo says:

SwapFree: 98188 kB
I have no proceses running which are using any real heaps of memory...
I have also been having a lot of oops's and kernel null pointers etc in
kernels 2.1.118 and 2.1.119 I'll attach the most recent of these to the
bottom of this message..
I have tried to run them through ksymoops, but for some reason ksymops
segfaults while trying to read the System map, so all I can get is
disassembled code... grr.
