I ran out of swap once or came damn close, due to a cron job gone amuck. My clue was starting to see lots of memory allocation errors. After I fixed what was blocking all the backed-up cron jobs, the machine ground to a crawl (mmm... system load of 400+ on a dual PII-375), and X did crash (though I think that's because I tried switching to a different virtual console), but the machine stayed up and eventually worked through everything. -- Jim C.
