yay!  I'm glad the out-of-swap stuff was actually useful for someone!

it's very unlikely that it's related.
this message is not even an indication of a real problem,
applications that do nonsensical things can trigger it.
there are a number of printfs like this left in the uvm code
that should probably be removed, or at least made ifdef DEBUG.

I wouldn't worry about it.
