Comment(by sj):

 This problem has nothing to do with memory available on the machine.

 It is related to MediaWiki.  There used to be a bug in the unicode
 normalization routines that would sometimes lead to running out of memory,
 but that's not what is going on here.  The specific error is MediaWiki
 running out of the memory limit it allocates itself, so even if increasing
 memory available were a suitable bandaid, adding swap on the machine will
 have no effect. To see if increasing available memory hides this bug,
 update the "ini_set ('memory_limit')" line in LocalSettings.php .

 The MW bug is here; please note any debugging info (such as a stack trace)
 there :
