2G physical + 2G swap.  I don't think I'm exceeding it.


I'm not entirely sure about Debian , I use BSD  but me with my measly 512 mb
of ram, I  have higher max children-
These are my settings

--min-children=2 --max-children=8 --min-spare=2 --max-spare=3
--max-conn-per-child=100 -r 

Maybe its timing out on large messages? Are you limiting message size to
