VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for player..

I would try enabling swap first. This may be faq'd somewhere, but here is the Cliff's Notes version...

1. Use hyperterm to quit the player (type q or ctrl-c).
2. Type "swapon /swapfile" to turn on swap.
3. Type "rwm" to make the drives writeable.
4. Type "/empeg/bin/player" to restart the player and have it build the databases.
5. Quit the player again with "q" or "ctrl-c".
6. Type "swapoff -a" to disable swap.
7. Type "rom" to remount the drives read only.
