That apparently means it's a swap file instead of partition.

Something must be terribly wrong with my machine then, since it was running
out of space with 24mb + 132mb.  Is there something else the "panic:
vm_fork: no more kernel virtual memory" could mean?  Should I compile
another kernel ASAP, instead of using a GENERIC one?

Now, after I added some more swap, I get these in my log:

(more ad nauseum)

What's going on here?  Is there something more drastically wrong with my
setup than a lack of RAM?
