I'm catching up on my email so I'm sorry that this reply is late in 
coming.  I saw a similar problem to yours recently and it may be the same. 
I discovered that my LTSP v4.2 terminals weren't using NBD swap anymore. 
It turned out that we had changed the main "SERVER" declaration in 
lts.conf from an IP address to a name.  And at the point in which the NBD 
swap stuff gets turned on during a client boot it apparently didn't have 
hostname resolution, thus it would fail.  I caught the error text briefly 
on screen as a client was booting up and that gave me enough of a clue to 
figure it out.

So does that client have a different "SERVER" or the declaration for the 
swap server (I forget what it is and I need to get to a meeting) than 
other clients?

I'd recommend studying the boot messages on the screen of that client when 
it boots and look for the stuff about swap and see if there are any errors 
or clues.

HTH,

Jason
