Did you set the type to 's' in /etc/nbd-client? The nbd initscript
should then do the swapon correctly by itself.

If by "stress" you mean "lots of networking activity", then this is
quite likely; this has to do with the fact that the TCP subsystem
doesn't know whether something is critical for swapspace, or not.
Lots of CPU activity should not kill it by itself.
The NBD swap patch hasn't been maintained since way back when, but
really any "swap-over-network" patch should do.
