The fact that both free and total swap are said to be "0kB" seems so
unreasonable that it may mean I just don't understand the output.
Another possibility is that there's a hardware error on the drive
containing the swap data, in which case perhaps the computer would stay up
after the error if there were also a swap area file on another drive, and
wouldn't crash at all if only swap area on another drive were used.

Now this is concerning ... you're out of swap, unless that's disabled.
I'm curious about this too. I have 8GB swap and top showed some being used.

Somehow, this doesn't reflect what the kernel complains about when the
OOM killer starts its mission.
That's bugging me too.
