You may well be right, and the documentation is somewhat out-of-date.
But of course what is stated there will be based on a minimal
configuration, which yours may not be. I have 1.5GB RAM and a swap file,
so I've never had the problem ; ) -
# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 1517960 kB
MemFree: 98440 kB

SwapTotal: 262140 kB
SwapFree: 258368 kB
