I've found that when a single process exhausts the available physical memory the swap is not being used, resulting in an out of memory error with almost half the swap space free. The specific circumstance is gcc compiling kfmgui.cpp since the process then needs about 30M if not more of memory. Did something get broken in the latest snap release?
