The original suggestion still sounds best to me. I'd log the swap space used
and see if it gets close to the limit when it freezes. Unfortunately 
you don't have access to the amount of memory in use (AFAIK) as it's
all allocated even if not being actively used. Disk I/O and load average
are also available in `top`. Presumably they're being read from somewhere
in /proc.
