I would think it wasn't an out-of-memory error. Before running XFree86,
free says:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        515100      31892     483208          0       2476      17904
-/+ buffers/cache:      11512     503588
Swap:       128484          0     128484

That's 483 MB of physical memory available.

As for running it with GDB:

(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...
Program terminated with signal SIGKILL, Killed.
The program no longer exists.

And the extra -verbose flags to XFree86 gives out exactly the same info as
was in the log file before.
