I turned softupdates on and set kern.maxvnodes=9999999.
I did 'make -j16 buildworld'. It used all RAM and part of swap,
swap was clear before and there were 135M of 'free' RAM (not even 'inactive').
It finished normally.

Simultaneosly 3 different Apache binaries serve web sites,
MySQL database every 5 minutes takes peaks of load, 
NFS server and NFS client serve several processes doing read/write,
cvsupd server take little load, cron daemon runs many jobs every 5
and even 1 minute. I'm pretty sure my memory is OK. It was OK for 2 years
and my troubles start right after last world update.

I note all crashes were while I was online and there was pppd running
kernel-level PPP service with PPP_DEFLATE. I'll try to reproduce crash.
