The first ones of them come before the system is properly
up, about immediately after networking has come on. Then it
continues a few times a minute, even if I do nothing.

A PC164 (I think; I just work here, what do I know :) with
256 MB of RAM.

Nope. On the other hand, we ran six concurrent kernel
compilation loops (essentially "while true; do make clean;
make; done"; and six of those) for almost three days. It
didn't use any swap at any time I looked, and everything
seemed to ge 100% OK. But I'll look, anyway.
I will also look at trying different kernels.
