It seems that the problem is not the size of the swap area itself, but
rather the choice taken by the guided partitioning.
I've manually created:
/dev/sda1 swap
/dev/sda2 / ext3
~ # fdisk -s /dev/sda1
80293
~ # fdisk -s /dev/sda2
923737
And everything works.
The guided partitioning chooses to create:
~ # fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 125 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 1 115 923706 83 Linux Native
/dev/sda2 115 115 125 80325 5 DOS Extended
/dev/sda5 116 116 125 80293+ 82 Linux Swap
~ # fdisk -s /dev/sda5
80293
And the creation of an ext3 fs on /dev/sda1 fails due to ssh going out
of memory.
