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.
