In general, you should expect problems if the size of your swap is not at least twice the amount of RAM. The innd memory usage may be normal for the size of your news server, or it could be corruption. IMO, 256MB isn't very much for a news server. You should probably add another 256MB of swap right away. It is possible to create a 256MB file on one of your file systems, and mount it as swap. See "man vnconfig".
