I don't know why it restarted but the priority of your new swap will be lower than the default swap and thus it will get used only when the 768 emmc swap fills. To enable it with higher priority you either need to use swapon from easydebian or
Code:
swapon /dev/swap1.img swapoff /dev/mmcblk0p3; swapon /dev/mmcblk0p3

It is to rule out several possibilities i.e. high use of rootfs so it flips out, do not know, just to be sure if it still crashes from MyDocs then maybe file swap is not supported on maemo (for some random reason) and an expert should help you on that

Did you run the command I posted before to 'format' the file?
