Well, the error message was pretty straightforward. I'd just never seen a report of fsck running out of memory with the swap enabled, so I figured the swap had merely not been enabled properly. Apparently it can run out of memory with the swap enabled, though. I don't think losing 16MB is a big deal, but this has apparently only happened three times, including this one. Eh. Do it anyway. 16MB is like four tracks.
