Looks like that's it. Linux-guru diagnosis points to the "OOM killer," a 
process that kills other processes when Linux runs out of RAM. I can buy 
more RAM, increase my swap partition, or remove some hidden objects from my 
scene.

I'd go straight for the RAM if I KNEW it would solve the problem, but 
that'll require travel, time, and head scratching with no guarantee of 
results. I'll try to "fix" the scene tonight. Thanks for pointing me in the 
right direction.
