Any ideas? Google found nothing.

Restart fixed it
It'll happen again. You're running out of RAM. You’ll need to add a swap partition. It makes stuff go a lot smoother. I used gparted on my laptop to shrink my memory card’s ext3 parition down a bit and added a 2GB swap partition (overkill, but why not). Then you can either add it in /etc/fstab on your N900, or use the quick and dirty way of `swapon /dev/mmcblk1p2` or whatever your partition is. Run `free` to find out if it worked.

That's what I did anyway.
