I always thought virtual memory was somehow transparent to applications, but in this case there seems to be a marked distinction between physical memory and swap space for some reason.

If you have some spare disk space you could add more swap. I think that
can be done using a swap-file so you don't even have to create another
swap partition. See the man page for swapon(8) for more info.
