I installed on a 4 GB SD card following instructions here:

http://omappedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Pre-built_Binaries_Guide
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/10.10/release/ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap4.img.gz

Then I did apt-get update / apt-get upgrade, reboot, then I edited /boot/boot.script to remove GUI and add memory:

# cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 2.6.35-903.19-omap4 2.6.35.3
# cat /boot/boot.script
        fatload mmc 0:1 0x80000000 uImage
        fatload mmc 0:1 0x81600000 uInitrd
        setenv bootargs quiet text ro elevator=noop vram=32M mem=768M root=UUID=b5d2dfb1-270c-4966-abe6-dfe7a2a17efd fixrtc smsc95xx.macaddr=32:57:F8:93:E1:CD
        bootm 0x80000000 0x81600000
# cat /etc/rc.local

sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=2
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
mount -t nfs pc2:/mnt/s2000c/nfs/44/home /home
exit 0

Two openvpn running, /home/ over NFS as above I installed nfs-kernel-server.

With the original mem= mem= setting with swap activated I got backtraces by just doing:

cd /home/user
svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk

(this will use 1.3 Gbyte of space)

With no swap I don't get any backtraces but user space command start getting NULL out of malloc.

If it's easier for you just send me your ssh public key I will install it on my pandaboard on root.
