This seems mostly (though not 100%) repeatable - the load is runnign at about 10 at the time it crashes (although it peaks at about 20 previously).

I'm going to try limiting the amount of RAM the job thinks it has and see what happens. The process ulimit on the machine/jenkins user is unlimited

Paging space is 4Gb on these machines which is quite low compared to the 32Gb of RAM the build machines have (16Gb taken by ramdisk)
