How much?
Ok. Given the memory and swap utilization it looks like 40MB could have
been thin. I generally use the rule of thumb: swap= 2x physical
memory. By this, you might want to allocate about 300 MB swap. Keep an
eye on your system resources -- you can use a visual tool such as asmon
or various Gnome/KDE applets, or log periodic dumps of /proc/meminfo to
a file for later analysis. If you tend to run low on swap and/or
memory, you'll probably want to adjust them.
Have you had a repeat of the problem since?
