If you could give us some info about the load on the box, the status of kswapd (S?) and a bit of free and vmstat output, then I would even be able to say something that makes sense :)
In the meantime, I can only comment that the 2.1 VM layer is rock-solid and that this is the first report of the kind I've seen since 2.1.89...
