I haven't seen my mail echo back from the list yet so perhaps this has been discussed to death already but there seem to be some useful hints in Documentation/memory-tuning.txt
In particular: [begin quote] If "out of memory" errors sometimes occur, or if your machine does lots of networking, increasing min_free_pages to 64 or more may be a good idea.
free_pages_low should probably be about double of min_free_pages. [end quote]
I think I'll try fiddling with this and see if the problems go away.
Cheers,
