The BBB has 512 MB RAM, not expandable. I run FreeBSD from a 60 GB microSD 
card, and I dedicated the internal eMMC drive's original 3.4 GB Linux 
partition for swap. Very little of that swap is ever used, though. Every
time I look at 'top' it only shows 5% or so in use, and only by my login
shell, not the daemons.

I try to tune services to keep RAM use down. Typical 'top -tw' output:

I watched 'top -tw' while producing the crash and there was no swap use at 
all. Even during a successful edit, the top of 'top' is showing RAM's not a 
problem:

CPU: 55.6% user,  0.0% nice, 13.1% system, 23.9% interrupt,  7.3% idle

Swap: 1964M Total, 99M Used, 1864M Free, 5% Inuse

Here's 'vmstat -w 1' output before, during, and after a successful edit:
