An interesting note I might make:

When I was running diablo, I would see `daemons dying' quite
regularly.

Right now, I'm running a beta of Cyclone, which has a serious memory
leak.  It eats up all available memory within two hours.  I don't see
`daemons dying' fairly often.

My suspicion is that the problem in question is specific to the
situation where the program requesting the memory is NOT the one which
gets killed.  When I'm running cyclone, it is by far the biggest hog,
and it's a single process; the system kills it off, and the next
top-hour a cron job runs which restarts it without incident.  When I
ran diablo, however, I don't recall anything ever getting explicitly
killed by the system.  Diablo consists of about 100 separate, small
processes all running simultaneously, half of which are driven by a
cron job.
