You said your stats for memory usage did remain low. Was this the case? Couldn´t it be running out of the % of memory used by the kernel? You could try increasing kernelpcent if that was the case.

I have a fossil+venti configuration set up; exact numbers, I can't tell you, because I'm currently 200 miles away from the damn thing. I've tried running the command at various times of day. I can't run Plan 9 in qemu on my main machine because my main machine is somewhere in Ohio at the moment (I think) and I won't have access until fall. Besides, it just isn't the same when you're emulating it ;-) John -- TANSTAAFL! (There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch!)
