Just to remind everyone where the actual logic is contained...

Check out swap_pager.c line 1135 (in version $Id: vm_pageout.c,v

FreeBSD is not 100% indiscriminant.  It favors procs with PID > 48 as
targets.  You could tune this to discriminate against procs > 1000 if you
wanted; that way no startup procs would be killed.  Of course, if one of
those is causing the problem, then you're up a creek. :)
