Subject: Memory allocation failed

We've crashed a number of times recently with an error of memory allocation
(size 3412) failed.  We also get:

May 25 04:56:49: *** Renaming temporary dump file: No such file or directory

Here's teh entry from ps -aux.  We're using up 36.7% of the memory.

USER       PID %CPU %MEM   SZ  RSS TT STAT START  TIME COMMAND
MediaMOO  9800  0.0 36.71602412572 p2 S    11:46  12:50 ./moo MediaMOO.db MediaM

Not knowing much about memory allocation, my only guess is that we're crashing
when someone else starts doing something memory intensive on this machine.  Is
that a good hunch?  How can I prevent this?  We already boosted our swap space
quite a bit.  Boost it more?
