Maybe you are transiently using swap space?  Is there a process that
starts/stops and you simply run out of swap?  Several of the programs
above can get very large...  There is no other people having the problem
that you are seeing.  You might want to do a ps -xla or cat /proc/*/map,
and see if there are any huge programs.
