There were multiple systems, 1 - 2G at most. Most had an inactive (unintentional) swap partition, it hadn't been a problem pre-puppet. And, it wasn't a problem until the puppet server reached about 90 clients. All the RHEL 4 systems were in crontab as 0/30, so they all hit at the same time. We spread them out, which probably helpded too. The puppet run was sometimes finished for several minutes before the crash.
