This is what it said immediately before the machine died last:
3998 ntp 15 0 13636 4456 3660 S 0 0.1 0:00.02 /usr/sbin/
ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -u 107:114
So actually very little. Here's what showed up in /var/log/messages
later in the same minute:
messages.0:Aug 18 17:44:50 stingray out of memory [3998]

It has 4Gb:
[16:39] andy $ free
total used free shared buffers
cached
Mem: 4031192 2398260 1632932 0 145988
1722992
-/+ buffers/cache: 529280 3501912
Swap: 2241028 0 2241028
That's now rather than at the time it crashed.
