Virtual Memory Killing Process (aka slow death)

Hi,

One of the Astaro machines our company manages started slowing down and eventually stopping completely.  I couldn't even login in on console.

I found the following in the kern.log:
2005:01:17-00:31:59 (none) kernel: VM: killing process selfmonng.pl
2005:01:17-01:05:39 (none) kernel: __alloc_pages: 1-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1f0/0)
2005:01:17-01:05:39 (none) kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
2005:01:17-01:05:39 (none) kernel: VM: killing process content_manager
2005:01:17-04:37:13 (none) kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
2005:01:17-04:37:13 (none) kernel: VM: killing process content_manager

2005:01:17-04:37:13 (none) kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
2005:01:17-04:37:13 (none) kernel: VM: killing process exim
2005:01:17-04:37:13 (none) kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
2005:01:17-04:37:13 (none) kernel: VM: killing process reportcontrol.s
 etc...

Version 5.1
On a Dell PowerEdge 600sc with 256mb ram.

Is this a problem with the actual RAM or the swap space?
Anyone else see this problem before?
