Thanks --- although there's a typo; just for reference, you mean:
sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=2
sysctl -w vm.overcommit_ratio=95
Although if I've understood things correctly, this will tell me system
to behave as if it's actually got 2GB of RAM (512MB RAM + 1GB swap +
(1*0.95) GB of overcommit). Why would this help? Wouldn't I rather
disable overcommit completely to ensure that if apps successfully
allocate memory, then they can always access it?
(PS. Please don't cc me --- I don't need two copies of each message!)
