One reason for the OS to "randomly kill processes" is the Linux out-of-
memory killer (OOM killer for short).  Is there any chance that
sagenb.org is running out of RAM?  Are there any interesting messages
if you log in and type "dmesg"?

Actually, I just realized I could check this for myself, so I did... I
don't see anything about the OOM killer, but there is a recurring,
strange error message about "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s!
[python:8525]".  I don't know what this means, or if it has anything
to do with this problem.
