So it seems that system should handle all swap, I think you can issolate
the problem (it is in the kernel or in the app?)
write an small c program, that mallocs 1.3Gb of RAM then _you must use it_
if you want really use/reserve this memory. eg:
This is pseudo code
for(cont= 0; cont < 1.3Gb; cont++)
memory(cont)= 1; // You assing some value to all memory
// wich is malloc'ed
If you do not know C, tell me and I'll write this for you
