On an old i38640/8MB 10meg swap, it still gives that message when compiling something large or exiting X. It happens even though MM_DEBUG in mm/vmscan.c has been undefined.

That's true, even compiling GhostScript with 'make -j -l 7.0' leaves the system quite useable (higher -l value kills the i386 ;-))
