Hi Keith,

My kernel is 2.6.32-5-amd64.

I'll also add that I have sufficient swap to back up the contents of
memory into swap. Free output:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       3991332     633856    3357476          0      13096     263720
-/+ buffers/cache:     357040    3634292
Swap:      7793656          0    7793656

Thanks for the help!
