While the server is a little challenged in the way of RAM, it is by no means under any sort of load.
I didn't read the whole thread, but is this a Linux server? Linux has a horrible feature, the "Out of Memory Killer", which kills off processes when the system is low on memory.
the OOM-Killer usually leaves log entries in DMESG and maybe /var/log/messages
If in fact its the OOM killer, you should probably lower your WORK_MEM and SHARED_BUFFERS and maybe MAINTENANCE_WORK_MEM in postgresql.conf
