The Freerunner has only 128mb ram, when this is used up applications get killed.
Make swap when you are connected to your openmoko with ssh
64M byte of swap just as an example
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=65536
Next time you boot there will be swap
echo "/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0">> /etc/fstab
Make the swap file work now:
swapon /swapfile
Make swap when microSD card is in a card reader
To help this you can add a bit of swap space on the microsd card:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/card/swapfile.img bs=1024k count=512 mkswap /media/card/swapfile.img swapon /media/card/swapfile.img
