That's not happening on my box. It has 64 MB real memory, 128 MB swap area 
mounted like this:

/dev/da0s1b                     none            swap    sw 0 0

pstat -s says:

Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/da0s1b        131072    10244   120828     8%    Interleaved

Is there a way to check the free list of the kernel? Maybe I can find out 
what action triggers eating al its memory.
