I don't believe that -- I don't think that there is any situation where
sipX can generate a 503.  What I think you are seeing is a 503 sipfrag
*inside* a different message, which different message was generated by
sipX.  What you need to determine is where the original 503 came from.

Can you cut the message in question into a file and attach it to an
e-mail?  (Do *not* cut-and-paste it directly into the e-mail, which will
likely damage its formatting badly.)

It doesn't matter if swap space is *used*, what you care about is the
*rate* at which paging/swapping is done.  Linux systems often have a
considerable amount of information parked in swap space, but it is
programs and things that aren't accessed (or rather, very rarely), so it
doesn't affect performance.
