You probably just need to add more swap space on your system,

Any time the OOM killer fires, something's wrong with the

wish for a more accurate OOM killer; see http://lwn.net/Articles/111408/

When I was working at a company that used embedded Linux,
I eventually figured this out, and patched the kernel to panic on OOM
conditions; that gave users the right incentive to avoid
configuring jobs that caused the system to run out of memory.
