Heh, low-memory.  I guess it's all relative. :-) I saw the warning
on 128MB, on 512MB, and on 1024MB machines.  I first noticed it on
the 512MB machine very shortly after boot (i.e., before I'd knowingly
created memory pressure with build.sh or something).

Thanks so much for fixing it!  I'll give the new kernel a spin, soon.
