Well, I asked mostly because I didn't know what the "VM:
do_try_to_free_pages_failed_for qmail-remote" message meant, but since
then I've been informed that it more or less stand for "out of memory".
As for my server, it's a Pentium III with 128 Mb. of memory and 48Mb. of
swap; concurrencylocal is 50 and concurrencyremote is only 16 (and I
have databytes set to around 9Mb.). I find it a bit strange that a queue
of just 250 messages could be enough to crash the box with those
settings...
