Post the error messages you are getting.
See if your swap is over allocated? Compare it with the swap space allocation on other OSes.

Turns out that it's the default soft RLIMIT_DATA being hit. I mistakenly thought that ulimit would only affect 32-bit executables, and it seems the machine I'm working with in particular has a really low soft limit. Once it is raised to match the hard limit things started to work fine. Thanks a lot!
