Any ideas what's up and how to fix it?

It's exactly what it says it is: You're out of memory.
I don't think that's possible:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 37G 23G 12G 66% / proc 0 0 0 - /proc sysfs 0 0 0 - /sys devpts 0 0 0 - /dev/pts tmpfs 59M 0 59M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hdb1 37G 23G 13G 66% /music

No...I said "memory". Memory != Storage. Memory is RAM, not hard drive space. Try 'free -m', instead of 'df -h'.
Regards, Zaq
Oh, man! Here's my output of 'free -m':
Mem: 116 112 4 0 1 35 -/+ buffers/cache: 75 41 Swap: 0 0 0
and here's what 'top' shows:
Mem: 119048k total, 115540k used, 3508k free, 1896k buffers Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 35804k cached
Why don't I have any swap memory?
Curtis
Because you didn't set up a swap partition, undoubtedly...
